Dynamic service name

[Mattb]

Hi there

I need to have multiple instances of the service installed...

So what i will need is on the UI a textfield where the user can enter a name for the service, for example on one installation "service1" on the other "service2" and so on... (i know i have to allow multiple instances for the installation)...

I tried and searched a lot, but did not find a solution... the only thing that worked was the property but that would be set on build and not on runtime...

Does somehow know a way? In the services register on right click on the service I don't have the entry configurable... why?

ps: i know i have to store the name also in the app.config anf load it as servicename...

Thanks a lot!

Matt

Hi Matt,

Unfortunately this is not supported by Windows Installer. The service name is not formatted, so it can use only hard-coded values.
