I have a Basic MSI project that incorporates a merge module. The merge module installs a few dlls and adds and starts a service. The install seems to work fine. When I un-install, the service and associated files are not removed. I have seen other posts that indicate they are having issues with stopping and uninstalling services during uninstall. I think this may be related other than the fact that it is my merge module that is adding and starting the service. Do custom actions need to be performed that are not performed by default to remove the service and files?

Oh okay - now I see where you were going - I will see about incorporating the msm into a basic msi project and then launching that installer from my installscript project. Thanks

Thanks for the reply - I was wondering if either a Basic MSI or Installscript with MSI was a better approach. My issue with that is that my Installscript project was an existing project and the msm was a new addition. Short of getting the Premier addition (I have professional 2011) is their any way to easily convert an Installscript project to one of the other two, probably Installscript with MSI - assuming that works as well as Basic MSI with the merge module. Or can I just start a new project and use the existing GUID to tag this project as the same as the previous? I want it to appear as the same project during install and uninstall so that installing the new will uninstall the old.

As a follow on - if I cannot use MsiSetProperty() how would I set a property in a merge module using Installscript? I have tried FeatureSetTarget() and the function operates but does not seem to update the property for the merge module (.msm file). Perhaps the target media specified is wrong - I specified the Feature that the merge module is associated with.

I have an installscript project and have added a merge module to a Feature. The merge module installs fine, but the installscript must set a property of the merge module - a license key. I have tried MsiSetProperty() and get an error during compile for unknown function. Can you use MsiSetProperty in a purely Installscript project? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
