However if the main product is uninstalled and thus the services removed, the installer cannot be uninstalled because the services are no longer there, if the installer is being uninstalled with the product in place it needs to stop and start the services as well. Is it possible for a condition to be in place to only run the service control component if the services are in place, I have been experimenting with conditions and using Transitive="yes" but it always runs when trying to uninstall with the main product uninstalled. I could write a custom action to do all this logic for me but I would prefer if possible to stick to wix to do this. Is there anything in wix that could help me with this? <Component Id="Control_Service" Guid="{GUID_HERE}" Directory="INSTALLDIR"> <CreateFolder/> <ServiceControl Id="Service" Name="Service_Name" Start="both" Stop="both" Wait="yes"/> <Condition>PRODUCT_FOUND<>""</Condition> </Component> -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/ServiceControl-Component-Uninstall-condition-tp7599109.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
