Service install -- The specified service already exists

J

John J. Hughes II

I am getting an error when I install a service I wrote. I have an MSI
installation using VS 2005 with custom actions and a custom installation. I
have compared this to several other setup with services I have written and
other then the names being different I can't see a difference between them.
If I uninstall the old and install the new it works fine. I am updating
the version number for both the applications and the installer and have set
the remove previous version option. I am pretty sure that either is not
installing it in the correct order or it is not installing it at all but I
am not sure which.

Because of the size of the error log I put a small part here where the
problem maybe, if you could suggest another section to look at, please
advise.

Regards,
John

Is this a new version of an existing service, and you want to replace the
old one?
If you want to install a different service, I think the
ServiceInstaller.ServiceName property is the critical one. It should be
different in your two projects. Look also at ServiceBase.ServiceName which I
believe should be the same.

Yes if I make changes to the project I want to then upgade the installation.
The installer should remove the existing service and install the new one.
Works this way on a half dozen other service program I wrote. The only
thing that seems different is this is the first written with VS 2005, the
rest all started with the last version.

The service name needs to be the same so it can uninstall the old service.
I have not changed it in the installer so it is the same.

Basically I change the application version numbers and the installer version
numbers and press rebuild all.

Regards,
John


John Dinning said:
Is this a new version of an existing service, and you want to replace the
old one?
If you want to install a different service, I think the
ServiceInstaller.ServiceName property is the critical one. It should be
different in your two projects. Look also at ServiceBase.ServiceName which
I believe should be the same.

John.

John J. Hughes II said:
I am getting an error when I install a service I wrote. I have an MSI
installation using VS 2005 with custom actions and a custom installation.
I have compared this to several other setup with services I have written
and other then the names being different I can't see a difference between
them. If I uninstall the old and install the new it works fine. I am
updating the version number for both the applications and the installer
and have set the remove previous version option. I am pretty sure that
either is not installing it in the correct order or it is not installing
it at all but I am not sure which.

Because of the size of the error log I put a small part here where the
problem maybe, if you could suggest another section to look at, please
advise.

John
