Thanks Sebastian. Is it possible to set the startup type to demand or auto
depending on a property? Using the ServiceInstall element, I would have to have
them again within a conditional component, and that would mean adding the
executable file also to both components having the ServiceInstall element. That
would introduce maintenance issues later on. It would be great to separate the
service installation, and service management( change startup type, start or
stop service etc), so that I could do the install common for all cases, and
only manage them as required.
My requirements in a nutshell: I need to install a service. I need to set its
startup type to "demand" or "auto" based on a property. And if the startup type
is auto, I need to start the service as well.
Thanks
