When does service stop get called

[MLiss@Cetrus.com]

Hi,

I have an installer that installs / uninstalls a windows service.
When does the SC Stop call get performed, as I have a custom action that needs to be executed while the service is running

Is the service still running if I call the "LaunchFile_Uninstall" custom action here :

Hello Mike,

The "Stop service" control operation takes places during the "Remove Resources" action group --> "StopServices" action.

With that being said, if your custom action needs to be executed while the service is running, then yes, you have scheduled it correctly, since it is scheduled to execute before the "StopServices" action.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Catalin
