Start/Stop Services (Progress bar)
This may be something basic, but I'm new to using Install-shield, an haven't been able to find a solution online yet.
I'm writing an installer that needs to start a service (SQLAgent).
While the service is starting, the installer seems to have crashed, but resumes after 10-15 seconds. I need a way to let the user know that installer is just starting a service.
I thinking I might be able to use a progress bar or maybe even just a label for that purpose, but I don't know to actually tie those controls to the service.
Any help is appreciated.
Jose

Hi José,
How exactly are you starting the service?
You can probably take a look at this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367525(VS.85).aspx, but the example there is written in C++, so if you are not familiar with that language, it may not provide too much help.
Regards,
Juan Carlos
