In the same vein as my previous question... My installer copies a file onto the target system, which is a windows service, however, its a 3rd party exe, and cannot be installed using the typical WiX method - it must be executed with "/service" as an argument. This works. However, my rollback custom action is getting fired AFTER the file is removed from the system, which is obviously a problem, because the file must be executed with "/unregserver" to clean up after itself.
Why is this happening? This is my WiX <CustomAction Id="RegisterService" FileKey="olydvrsv.exe" ExeCommand="/Service" Execute="deferred" Impersonate="no" /> <CustomAction Id="RollbackRegisterService" FileKey="olydvrsv.exe" ExeCommand="/unregserver" Execute="rollback" Impersonate="no" /> <Custom Action="RegisterService" After="InstallFiles">1</Custom> <Custom Action="RollbackRegisterService" Before="InstallFiles">1</Custom> The install logs say: MSI (s) (B0:D4) [18:22:48:465]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=RollbackRegisterService,,) MSI (s) (B0:D4) [18:22:48:475]: Executing op: CustomActionRollback(Action=RollbackRegisterService,ActionType=3346,Source=C:\Program Files\Common Files\olydvrsv.exe,Target=/unregserver,) MSI (s) (B0:D4) [18:22:48:475]: Note: 1: 1721 2: RollbackRegisterService 3: C:\Program Files\Common Files\olydvrsv.exe 4: /unregserver MSI (s) (B0:D4) [18:22:48:475]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3: Error MSI (s) (B0:D4) [18:22:48:475]: Note: 1: 2228 2: 3: Error 4: SELECT `Message` FROM `Error` WHERE `Error` = 1721 Info 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action: RollbackRegisterService, location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\olydvrsv.exe, command: /unregserver .. which makes sense, because its preceded by this (note the time stamps): MSI (s) (B0:D4) [18:22:47:434]: Executing op: FileRemove(,FileName=C:\Program Files\Common Files\olydvrsv.exe,,) So, the file is removed BEFORE the rollback custom action is fired - which is the wrong way around. How can I get this the right way around? Thanks!
