wix - Service does not start after updating; how to do dependencies between components -

-

we have installer install windows service , files. when update installation new installation (by installing new package; minor upgrade, product version changes, product id not change), service cannot start. because files missing in installation folder needed service during service start up.

currently have <feature /> , there 1 <componentgroup />. <componentgroup /> contains service , contains other components, has files. looks (empty attributes placeholders , filled):

<component id="" guid="" directory="">     <file source="" id="" />     <file source="" id="" /> </component> <component id="" guid="" directory="">     <file source="" id="" />     <file source="" id="" /> </component> <component id="" guid="" directory="">     <file source="" id="" />     <file source="" id="" /> </component> <component id="" guid="" directory="">     <file source="" id="" />     <file source="" id="" />     <file source="" id="" />     <file source="" id="" />     <serviceinstall id="serviceinstaller" type="ownprocess" vital="yes" name="" displayname="" description="" start="auto" account="localsystem" errorcontrol="ignore" interactive="no">         <util:serviceconfig firstfailureactiontype="restart" secondfailureactiontype="restart" thirdfailureactiontype="restart" resetperiodindays="5" />     </serviceinstall>     <servicecontrol id="startservice" start="install" stop="both" remove="uninstall" name="" wait="yes" /> </component>

the bad thing service depends on other components.

how can specify dependencies? or need put files in component contains <serviceinstall />?

thanks, johannes

i suspect problem caused else. plan discover real problem run msiexec myapp.msi /log install.log , inspect resulting log file. log can prove whether files installed first , uncover issue.

during installexecutesequence when actual installation performed, windows installer installs components through sequence of actions. action lays down files on disk called installfiles, , action starts services called startservices.

unless tell otherwise, wix schedules startservices action after installfiles action, files should present on disk before service started.

i'm developing internal application uses bluetooth printing. want bluetooth pairing occur without user input. have managed working trapping android.bluetooth.device.action.pairing_request broadcast. in broadcast receiver call setpin method, , pairing works ok, bluetoothpairingdialog displayed second or two, disappears - see link below. https://github.com/android/platform_packages_apps_settings/blob/master/src/com/android/settings/bluetooth/bluetoothpairingdialog.java since broadcast non-ordered, can't call abortbroadcast() , , wondering if there other way prevent pairing dialog appearing. can hook window manager in way? i haven't been able come way without modifying sdk. if you're oem, it's easy (i'm on 4.3): in packages/apps/settings/androidmanifest.xml, comment intent filter pairing dialog: <activity android:name=".bluetooth.bluetoothpairingdialog" android:label="@string/bluetooth_pairing_request"
