Thank you - I ended up just stopping the service rather than uninstalling it, but your ideas pointed me in the right direction ;)

I will be upgrading JRE using GPO to deploy. &nbsp;However, due to problems with the JavaQuickStarterService, the installation hangs waiting for user input to stop it. &nbsp;One solution is to uninstall it using the ServiceControlTable in the MSI (or in my custom MST) and this is what I'm trying to achieve.<br />
<br />
The information provided on MSDN is sparse and complicated for the non-developer, but I've had a go anyway, but still can't understand what I need to do for the &quot;component_&quot; part of the table entry. &nbsp;This is what I have so far in the ServiceControl table:<br />
<br />
ServiceControl: &nbsp; JavaQuickStarterService<br />
Name: &nbsp; JavaQuickStarterService<br />
Event: &nbsp; 0x0008<br />
Arguments: &nbsp; &lt;null&gt;<br />
Wait: &nbsp; &lt;null&gt;<br />
Component_: &nbsp; &lt;&lt;&lt;&nbsp;What do I need to do here? &gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
<br />
Many thanks,<br />

Uninstall a service from within an MSI package

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.

Installation

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.
