Windows Installer: Cannot install when Mosquitto service is running #1815

Open schlotter opened 4 years ago

schlotter commented 4 years ago

Steps to reproduce

Install Mosquitto as Windows service using installer.
Ensure Mosquitto is running as service.
Install Mosquitto as Windows service again using installer.

Observed behavior

The installer cannot open mosquitto.exe for writing and it reports Error opening file for writing.

Expected behavior

Give a meaningful message why the file mosquitto.exe cannot be opened for writing and suggest to stop the Windows service.
Prior to installation, stop the Windows service so that Mosquitto can be updated without errors.

Facing the same issue is there any solution that you have come by?

The workaround is to stop or kill the mosquitto process prior to installation.
