rollback service restart #129

Open knguyen99 opened 1 month ago

knguyen99 commented 1 month ago

im having an issue when performing a failed msi upgrade and rollback occurs, the service that was previously installed does not restart and cannot start from services application. is there a fix for this?

i can install the service manually again by clicking on the service gui exe located in the install directory and installing but cannot do it automatically through the msi.

Sounds like that the registry keys of the Java service was not rewritten on rollback. I have no idea why this occur and how to fix it. The msiexec is a Microsoft tool and has some magic behavior.

Can be that the WiX toolset support can help based on the generated template.wxs. https://wixtoolset.org/docs/gethelp/

If you want try some modifications on the template.wxs it is describe in the wiki: https://github.com/i-net-software/SetupBuilder/wiki/Create-a-MSI-with-WXS-template

If you found a solution then you can post it here. Can be possible that we patch the SetupBuilder.
