[wix-users] Does not uninstall windows service.

[Harinatha Narisetty]

Ok. I think I got the problem... Now I need to find out how should I fix it.
a. As part of installation steps user selects target folder.
b. I set this as below in MSI
<Fragment>
    <SetDirectory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Value="[CUSTOM_INSTALL_DIRECTORY]" />
    <Directory Id='TARGETDIR'  Name='SourceDir'>
      <Directory Id='$(var.PlatformProgramFilesFolder)'>
        <Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER">
          <Directory Id="WEBSITEFOLDER" Name="SecurityAdmin"></Directory>
          <Directory Id="LICENSEFILESFOLDER" Name="LicenseFiles"></Directory>
        </Directory>
      </Directory>
      <Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder">
        <Directory Id="ApplicationProgramsFolder" Name="ABB(r) Enterprise Software $(var.DisplayVersion)" />
      </Directory>
      <Directory Id="DesktopFolder" Name="Desktop"></Directory>
      <Directory Id="INETPUB" Name='inetpub' >
        <Directory Id="WWWROOT" Name='WWWROOT'>
          <Directory Id="WEBSITEFOLDERROOT" Name="ABBAdminRoot">
          </Directory>
        </Directory>
      </Directory>
    </Directory>
  </Fragment>

This is causing the issue... If I remove the line  <SetDirectory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Value="[CUSTOM_INSTALL_DIRECTORY]" />   and  change         <Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER"> to         <Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="Test">
Everything works fine.

But we need to support selection property... can you please tell me how can I do it?


Thanks
Hari

Use InstEdit / Orca / Etc to look at the file and component tables in the MSI.

Hello,

I have the same problem with one of my services. Reason for me: I accidently installed it twice on one machine (during development, hadn't a check for upgrade then). Uninstall on this machine does not stop or remove this service any more.

Another option would be that you created an installer doing a copy and paste and that the component id is in use by something totally unrelated.

Regards Uwe
