I have a standard ProjectInstaller class derived from Installer, and I have
overridden the Commit method to do some custom processing. It works fine
under XP but when I do the install on W98 the Commit method doesn't seem to
get called at all. Can anyone explain this? I'm using VS2003/.NET1.1. Maybe
it's fixed in 2005/.NET2.0
 
Aaaargh, I'm such an idiot, sorry. The reason it's not getting called is
because the custom action that installs the service is conditioned out in the
install project for W98, which doesn't support services. I'd forgotten. I do
apologise.
I don't really understand installers. It must be possible to set it up to
install and start the service under XP, and to install and start the program
under W98 (I already install a registry entry on W98 that will start the
program on reboot/login)
