is it possible to set the recovery property of a NT service to 'restart on failure' for an install using installshield devstudio 9?
i cannot find anything relating to the recovery tab of the service properties in the ServiceControl Table or ServiceInstall Table.
Has anyone every come across this?

I'm starting to think this isn't possible. I have a post of the exact same question on the IS site and no reply. I looked through the registry to see if it was a setting or something but I didn't find anything.

Are you talking about the SERVICE_ERROR_CRITICAL flag (as defined in topic "CreateService" of the Windows SDK)?
You can do this in MSI projects in the Advanced settings of the component, and in InstalLScript projects in the settings of the NT Service object.

If you open the propertied on a service there is a recovery tab in case the service fails. As far as I can tell there is no way in the IDE to set this. This is not to be confused with the "Error Control" under Installing NT services. I did some digging on Microsoft and found out you can use advapi32.dll and call the ChangeServiceConfig2 function. I'm not sure on how to do this? CA or CA installscript.
