[WiX-users] Detecting if a Service is installed in WIX

2013-08-14 Thread Suryadeep Biswal
Hi, I am looking to put a check in my wxs file to detect if a windows service is installed and if not fail the installation. Is there any in-built support to achieve this (other than a Custom Action) ? Regards,Surya
