Nice to have a warning for Missing Services to Install

Mon Jan 20, 2020 7:55 pm

Hi,

I'd like to request an enhancement for a problem that has caught me several times and caused installs to fail.

If I load a project with a Service that is installed and the service EXE is currently missing (not built yet), it deletes the entry from the 'Services'/Services to Install' menu and if I save the project, the next time I build, it fails to install because of the 'Services to Install' is missing, but the Control operations and Failure operations are still there and cause the installer to error out.

It'd be nice if it checked on startup and displayed a warning if the service exe isn't present instead of just silently deleting it!

Thanks,

Joe

Hello Joe and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

Unfortunately, I am not quite sure I understand your scenario here.

Could you please give me a step by step test-case which I can follow in order to reproduce this?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Catalin
