Setting services's Recovery settings

[mdavtec]

I'm using InstallAware 18 and wanted to set the "Recovery" setting of a service that I'm installing. I use two commands, Install and Control, to create the service and control its behavior/options, but don't see any way to set Recovery options. I want to specify what OS (Service Control Manager) should do if a failure occurs and set the value of fail count and like that. Is there a build in InstallAware command to do that?

Thanks,

Dear MDA,

you can use the Windows sc command line utility to configure services and this can be easily executed from your setup script via "Run Program" command.

"Run Program allows command line parameters and replicates the same identical functionality that you usually have from command prompt."

Hope this helps you.

Hi Francesco,

Thanks for your reply.

That is what I did to resolve the issue. But I had to wait until "Apply Install" is called to execute sc.exe.

...of course you need to call the SC tool after Apply Install...otherwise the service will be not available.

Regards.
