[wix-users] Does not uninstall windows service.

[Hoover, Jacob]

Not sure if the Service installs are compatible with instance transforms. Are you using named instances, or are they dynamic?  Is the service name / id/ component id unique per instance?

Component/@MultiInstance 

If this attribute is set to 'yes', a new Component/@Guid will be generated for each instance transform. Ensure that all of the resources contained in a multi-instance Component will be installed to different paths based on the instance Property; otherwise, the Component Rules will be violated.

Hoover knows my implementation completely.

I have wix bundle  supporting multiple versions side  by side at minor version level. Here are the scenarios.

1. User can install 17.1.0 and 17.2.0 side by side . when he is installing 17.2, I show a screen to install side by side or  upgrade. If user selects upgrade, 17.1 will be gone and 17.2 will installed... otherwise both are available at side by side.
2. If user has 17.1.0 and installing 17.1.1, it will simple uninstall 17.1.0 and install 17.1.0 without asking anything. 

With this, I have problems with services not uninstalling properly... I want to write  custom action to uninstall the services using c#. 

Can you please tell me on event I should invoke  custom actions...give sample...



Thanks
Hari

Is anything in your MSI marked as a shared component? What component does 9CCCF010-20D8-5850-A918-15BC1A91EA91 refer to in your authoring?

During uninstallation, what exactly the meaning of this ?

MSI (s) (78:DC) [10:26:27:552]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding INSTALLLEVEL property. Its value is '1'.

Can you upload the install log as well?
