|
Service Executable |
Enter the fully qualified path to the executable file for the services in this component or click the Browse button to navigate to the service’s executable file. In compliance with Setup Best Practices, the component can contain only one executable file. Launch the wizard again later to add another file to a new component. If you have arrived at this wizard panel as the result of having a COM Server component that contains services, the Service Executable box is disabled. The wizard uses the same executable that you entered in the COM Server Executable panel. Caution:If you use the Browse button to navigate to and select a file, the new value overwrites anything that was entered in the Service Executable box. |

Services |
This list contains all of the services found in the file. |
|
Add |
Click Add to add a new service. To rename the service, type the new name immediately after clicking the Add button, or press F2 and then type the new name. This is the name that InstallShield, Windows Installer, CreateService(), and the Service Control Manager (which maintains the system’s database of services and exposes an interface for controlling these services) use to identify the service—not its display name. You can also use the Insert key to add a new service. |
|
Remove |
Select a service and click Remove to permanently delete it from the Services list. You can also use the Delete key to remove a service. |
