custom action taking a long time

[MLiss@Cetrus.com]

Hi,

I put in a couple of custom actions in my installer and now my installer takes over a minute to install.
(it used to take 15 seconds)

NOTE: The service MAY or MAY NOT exist on the system when the installer is run

Here are the custom actions:

Hello Mike,

I assume this happens because the SC.exe tool has a retry timeout when the service is not found. In this case you can try to use our "Detect service" predefined custom action (scheduled before your actual custom actions in the sequence) and use the following condition for your stop and delete service actions:

Code: Select all

AI_SERVICE_STATE <> "Not Found"

Hope this helps.

All the best,
Daniel
