Hi, I have two versions of the same installer (installing a windows Service) - V1 & V2 and perform the following steps -
1) Install Version V2 - (it creates the application in Program Files\<Application> folder.) 2) Make a copy of the installed folder Program Files\<Application> folder in another location. 3) Uninstall Version V2 (Check if Program Files\<Application> folder is deleted by the uninstall process) 4) Copy the backup made in Step 2 to Program Files\<Application> folder. 5) Try to install Version V1. Version V1 installation fails with error message - Service <Name> failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. I am trying to install the application in Vista OS - Elevated prompt. Please let me know whats causing this failure. Is there a way to cleanup the Program Files\<Application> folder from MSI before copying the files from the installer.
