PowerShell Universal MSI: "Start Service after Install" Toggle Option #572

Closed Viajaz closed 2 years ago

Viajaz commented 3 years ago

Can you please include an option (both in the interactive wizard and as a MSI option parameter) to disable the starting of the PowerShell Universal service after install?

When upgrading a PowerShell Universal MSI install, it replaces the appsettings.json with a default one, the default functionality starts the service after installation completes, causing PSU to start with the incorrect configuration.

Sure. That said, I would totally recommend putting custom appsettings.json in ProgramData. It won't replace that one and will use that by default.

No idea how I missed that, will do that. That said, I still think this feature does have utility, if appsettings.json needs to be modified to include new configurations options for changed/new features from the new version then you don't want the PSU service starting automatically.
