[wix-users] custom windows service - disabling FilesInUse

[David Bernhard]

Sure.

Current code:
<CustomAction Id="InstallTS" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Impersonate="no" Execute="deferred" Return="check"  />
<SetProperty Id="InstallTS" Value=""cmd" /V /C " "[INSTALLFOLDER]install/install.bat" [SERVICE_NAME]"" Sequence="execute" Before="InstallTS" />

<CustomAction Id="StopTS" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Impersonate="no" Execute="deferred" Return="check" />
<SetProperty Id="StopTS" Value=""[INSTALLFOLDER]install/[PREVIOUS_PRUNSRV_NAME]" //SS//[PREVIOUS_SERVICE_NAME]" Sequence="execute" Before="StopTS" />

<CustomAction Id="UninstallTSProcrun" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Impersonate="no" Execute="deferred" Return="check" />
<SetProperty Id="UninstallTSProcrun" Value=""[INSTALLFOLDER]install/[PREVIOUS_PRUNSRV_NAME]" //DS//[PREVIOUS_SERVICE_NAME]" Sequence="execute" Before="UninstallTSProcrun" />

<InstallExecuteSequence>
  <Custom Action="InstallTS" After="InstallFiles">NOT Installed</Custom>

  <!-- stop the service before uninstall-->
  <Custom Action="StopTS" After="InstallInitialize">Installed</Custom>

  <!-- uninstall after stopping the service -->
  <Custom Action="UninstallTSProcrun" After="StopTS">Installed</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>

Tried with ServiceControl:
<Component Id="ServiceControl" Guid="{…}">
  <ServiceControl Id="WinService" Name="[SERVICE_NAME]" Stop="uninstall" />
</Component>

Tried to suppress InstallValidate
<InstallExecuteSequence>
  <InstallValidate Suppress="yes">1</InstallValidate>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
(Also tested with false condition)

And tried also with:
<Property Id="MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL" Value="Disable" />
(and value “Disabled”)

I’m wondering how msi knows when updating a service (installed with ServiceInstall) that this service will get shut-down after “InstallValidate”.

Hello wix-users,

I have an installer which installs a windows service (with apache prunsrv), so it's not installed by wix. And when I'm updating the application I'm always getting the "FilesInUse" dialog. Even though I'm stopping the service when uninstalling (but that's in a later sequence...).

To get rid of this dialog I tried several things.

*        Suppress the InstallValidate sequence

*        Use a ServiceControl to stop the service when uninstalling

*        Set MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL to "Disable" (and "Disabled")

But none of them worked. Is the only solution to rebuild WixUIExtensions without the dialog?

I appreciate your help,
David
