Before that, I've tried:
<CustomAction Id="ServiceRestarter"

which apparently called sc.exe
- but changed nothing ...
Before that I've tried:
<ServiceInstall Id="SeviceInstall"

<Failure Action="restartService" Delay="0" />
<Failure Action="restartService" Delay="0" />
<Failure Action="restartService" Delay="0" />
</ServiceConfigFailureActions>
</ServiceInstall>
which did not work, as the MsiServiceConfigFailureActions
table does not work if using an installer < 5.0, and even if using InstallerVersion="500"
the only thing I get is an error:
Serivce 'My Product' (My Product) could not be configured. This could be a problem with the package or your permissions. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to configure system services.
(and yes, ... I've tried InstallPrivilges="elevated"
also - but ... the real issue is Action="restartService"
according to this)
So ... using a CustomAction
is the way to go (or not?).
I have following output of the log

Can anybody help me out?
edit
I've used the old ServiceConfig
-extension:
<util:ServiceConfig xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension"
FirstFailureActionType="restart"
SecondFailureActionType="restart"
ThirdFailureActionType="restart"
ResetPeriodInDays="1"
RestartServiceDelayInSeconds="20" />
which gives me a following build-error:
error CNDL0200: The ServiceInstall element contains an unhandled extension element 'util:ServiceConfig'. Please ensure that the extension for elements in the 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension' namespace has been provided.
I know that I can resolve this error by using -ext WixUtilExtension
via commandline - but I want to use Visual Studio for building ... So how can I adapt the build-command?
Only chance is to add a reference to WixUtilExtension.dll
to my project.
