Hi,
My installer besides my application installs also a service which is the "babysitter" for my application, eg takes care to restart my application if it crashes. When I want to uninstall everything I get the error message: "The setup must update files or services that cannot be updated while the system is running. If you choose to continue, a reboot will be required to complete the setup.". If I manually stop the service before running the uninstaller I don't get this msg. But I actually "told" the uninstaller to stop the service on uninstall: [code] <ServiceControl Id='MyServiceControl' Name='MyServiceForTest' Start='install' Stop='uninstall' Remove='uninstall'/> [/code] 1) How can I get rid of this problem? I don't want to get the mesasage with reboot the system as the uninstaller should be itself able to stop de service and then to do the uninstall. 2) And related to services: what happens if I have: [code] <ServiceControl Id='MyServiceControl' Name='MyServiceForTest' Start='install' Stop='install' Remove='uninstall'/> [/code] the translation would be: start on install, stop on install. Which one is it then? TIA, Viv _________________________________________________________________ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.
