I thought of that but I don't see how I can create a bootstrapper that allows the user to select which "feature" to install Being 1. The Server install 2. The Client install...
Steve Btw I will try to "move" the service creation to a ServiceInstall/ServiceConfig/ServiceControl elements. -----Original Message----- From: Hoover, Jacob [mailto:jacob.hoo...@greenheck.com] Sent: September-27-12 10:43 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] shared services question... First off, I avoid merge modules and wix libs like the plague. I think I would go for an alternate implementation where I would have 3 MSI's, isolating the service into its own independent package and utilize burn to wrap the prerequisites and the two MSI's in question together. >From what I see, your EXE CA which Starts/Stops also appears to >Install/Uninstall at the same time. Installing both MSI and then removing one: The easy way to fix this would be to use the ServiceInstall element so that it should only be installed or removed based on the component state. Is there a reason you chose to write a custom service install routine instead of using the existing infrastructure? You might find more information here (http://www.joyofsetup.com/2008/04/09/feature-states-in-component-conditions/). What I think you would be looking for is a component state condition that would block the calling of the uninstall if the component state wasn't set to remove. Major Upgrade issue: You will probably need to detect that an upgrade is happening and skip the CA in that case. Depending on where you have RemoveExistingProducts scheduled, you might have to add AND (NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE) to the Stop/Remove portion (to support an upgrade of the same product). -----Original Message----- From: Steven Ogilvie [mailto:steven.ogil...@titus.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2012 1:24 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
