I am trying to install a software as service. But for some reason it fails. According to the windows "Event properties": Error 1920 Service failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
This is how I have configurer when it doesn't work: in the "Organization | Components" I open the file object that I want to have as an service. In this case Mysqld-nt (I am doing a special installation for MySQL for my corporation). I choose "Advanced Settings" and then right click on Services and choose "new service".
Here is my settings: Enable Service Install: Yes ServiceType: win32 that runs in its own process Interact with Desktop: No Start type: Automatic Abort install on failure: No
Control settings: operation time [Install Start] Install Start : Yes Install Stop (and the rest): No Wait Type: Wait for the event to complete Arguments:
This is how I manage to get it started, but fails when I try to uninstall the software: Behavior and Logic | Custom Actions And Sequence: I right click on Custom Actions. There I create an custom actions On Action Type: Type=Launch an executable: Location= Installed with the product (I have created a bat file that I then converted to an exe file with i c:\%System%\system32\iexpresse.exe) Action Parameters: Source: Link to the file: Target: (Blank, since the above converted scriptfile is selfcontained) Additional Options: Return Processing: Synchronous (Ignores exit code) Respond Options: In-script Execution: Deferred Executiom Insert into Sequence: Install execute Sequence: After Movefiles
Even thou the last "technique" work to install and start up the service. I can not uninstall the installation. With the first technique. I can uninstall the installation. But I can not start the service, and the installation fails.
So I wonder if there is someone out there that can help me how to configure InstallShield 2010. This is my first time I am doing this, and would appreciate any help that result in an succesful installation.
