Hi,
I have the necessity to let the user decide during installation (using a Checkbox) whether a service should be started at the end of the installation or not. Currently it always starts. Under "Services" - "Control Operations" - I select the entry belonging to the service and there I can select which actions happen "On Install". There are no conditions here though, thus it's not directly possible it seems. How can I achieve this?
Best regards,
Johannes

Re: Start Service depending on Checkbox
Hello Johannes,
Each service has a related .exe file in the "Files and Folders" page. Also, that .exe file has a related component in the "Organization" page.
So, in order to set a condition for a service, you need to set a condition for the component related to its .exe file (as exampled in the image below):
However, this will decide whether the service is installed or not.
If you want to always install it and to turn it on based on a condition, I'm afraid you will have to accomplish this through a custom action.
