Trying to stop a service
I have an InstallShield msi project and it works ok. When I make an upgrade to the program, I would like to stop a service.
I can stop the service, but I get a warning message, where I have to select OK to proceed with the installation.
How do I get rid of this message? I just want the program to shut the service down and proceed.
Cheers

Use SystemFolder ^ "taskkill.exe" in LaunchAppAndWait() for stopping the service.

with taskkill you kill a service, you don't stop it correctly.
You need to use the functions 'ServiceGetServiceState' and 'ServiceStopService'.
These functions shouldn't popup a dialog.

I use LaunchApp with "net stop " for this purpose. Doesn't pop up anything.

I currently call a script, who execute
ServiceStopService()
ServiceRemoveService()
This works fine, but I can't figure out, how to get rid of the message, when the user uninstalls the program 😞
How do I call the script, when the user uninstalls the program???
Now I insert the script in the Sequence -> Installation -> Execute. This works fine for install, but not for uninstall 😞
