Windows service startup - automatic (delayed)

Post by pwall »

Hi.

I've searched thru the forum, google and using the F1 key in InstallAware 2012 and could not find what I was looking for.

I'm using InstallAware 2012, and one of the products that I'm building a msi for starts a service automatically, but delayed.
From wikipedia for Windows Services:
Automatic (Delayed) is a new startup type introduced in Windows Vista, that starts the service a short
while after the system has finished its booting and initial busy operations, so that the system boots up faster.

Does InstallAware 2012 support this 'delayed' startup ?

Thanks!
