Hi-y

I've created a custom action that is executing an EXE retrieved from a search from a button.

The file installs windows services and if it were to be run from a command line manually, the command would typically look like this:

C:\>jrun4\bin\jrunsvc.exe -install TEST123 "Macromedia JRun TEST123 Service" "Macromedia JRun TEST123 Service"

The following properties are set prior to executing this CA:

[CS_DSN] = TEST123
[JR_JRUNSVC_SEARCH] =jrun4\bin\jrunsvc.exe

The CA allows me to set a command line argument. However I cannot get the right output. It creates the service, but it isn't passing the right arguments, therefore the service name and description are wrong.

Does anyone know how I should build the command line? I have tried:

-install [CS_DSN] "Macromedia JRun [CS_DSN] Service" "Macromedia JRun [CS_DSN] Service"

MITA

For reasons that are unbeknown to me, we don't want to use the built in tools for services

maybe a verbose log file will thell you the command line that Windows Installer is actually using?
