Trouble with MSI install

Hi,

I have created an msi package that installas some .Net dlls. It was
working fine until my windows profile got corrupt and I had to create
a new one after renaming the old. the old profile still exists with a
different name.

Now, when I try to run this msi, it says "The specified service
already exists." and rolls back. There are no entries in the registry
for this msi.

I am all the more surprised, because this is the only msi thats
causing problem. The others seem to be working fine.

Please let me know how to overcome this problem. I am not able to runn
my applications because of this.

Regards,
Shilpa

Hello,

it looks like you are running an Installer class during setup which attempts
to install a windows service. If the windows service already exists, it will
produce this error.

You should call the installer directly:

installutil /u dll_containing_ installer.dll

Best regards,
Henning

When I installed Mandrake 10.0 I thought I had Apache, PHP, and MySQL installed correctly. I could serve web pages, MySQL worked, and when I tried the phpinfo() function, I got a page that looked OK. I could create simple php pages and serve them up. Then I tried to install pear, and things started to be not OK after all. phpinfo() told me that the 'Configure Command' had both the following in it: --with-pear=/usr/share/pear

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
