ear Advanced Installer Support Team,
We experienced a strange problem mostly on Windows Server 2016 machines (it happens on those machiens almost every time, while it happens on Windows Server 2012 machines just rarely): during an upgrade of our product our installer - built with Advanced Installer 14.5.1 but we also tried out your latest version - could not remove the services of the old product. Service removal were hanging, therefore new services could not be installed -> all services were gone.
The error appears in EventViewer while our product is being upgraded is the following:
Product: PRODUCTNAME -- Error 1923. Service 'SERVICENAME' (TheWebService) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services.
In our .aip we enabled "Run as administrator" checkbox, so that UAC dialog always appears asking us for elevated privileges.
We found an interesting link:

If we close all the applications which are listed in the accepted answer, then the upgrade is able to replace all the services without any problems.
Did you experience anything similar? Do you have any hints how we could make it working in a reliable way?
Best regards,
Zsolt
