c# - wix: Service is not being started after rollback -

we have wix project. installs 2 windows services , windows desktop application shown in task bar tray icon. purpose of these 2 services watch each other , desktop application if 1 of service not running, other service start it. , if desktop application not running, 1 of 2 services start desktop application.

we want implement rollback feature in our installer if there error during upgrade latest version, installer rollback previous existing version. testing rollback using wixfailwhendeferred.

<customactionref id="wixfailwhendeferred" /> 

the rollback seems work in tests, install rollbacks previous versions. example, in machine v8.0.1.0 installed , when run following command, tries install v8.0.2.0 rollbacks 8.0.1.0.

>msiexec.exe /passive /norestart /i "d:\setup8.0.2.0.msi" /l*vx+ "d:\test\installlog8.0.2.0.log"   wixfailwhendeferred=1 

1. but, have 1 issue. if 8.0.1.0 installed in machine , double click newer version 8.0.2.0.msi, ask close existing desktop application. mean, shows file in use dialog box.
2. in above command line, if remove /passive argument, shows file in use dialog box.
3. also, service not being started after rollback.
4. so, missing in our wix project?

the wix code

 <majorupgrade schedule="afterinstallinitialize" downgradeerrormessage="a newer version of [productname] installed." /> 

the custom actions

 <customaction id="certificateinstallcustomaction"               binarykey="certificatecustomactions.ca.dll"               dllentry="installclientcertificate"               execute="deferred"               return="check"                impersonate="no" />  <customaction id="certificateremovecustomaction"               binarykey="certificatecustomactions.ca.dll"               dllentry="uninstallclientcertificate"               execute="deferred"               return="check"               impersonate="no"/>  <customaction id="clientinstallcustomaction"               binarykey="clientcustomactions.ca.dll"               dllentry="installvalidation"               execute="deferred"               return="check"                impersonate="no"/>      <customaction id="clientinstallcustomactionroll"               binarykey="clientcustomactions.ca.dll"               dllentry="installvalidation"               execute="rollback"               return="ignore" />    <customaction id="clientremovecustomaction"               binarykey="clientcustomactions.ca.dll"               dllentry="uninstallvalidation"               execute="immediate"               return="check"/>  <customaction id="startserviceifnotrunningidroll"               binarykey="clientcustomactions.ca.dll"               dllentry="startserviceifnotrunning"               execute="rollback"               return="ignore" /> 

clientremovecustomaction: custom action kill desktop application before uninstallation.

actually, got solution after hit , trial. in order prevent file in use ( or prevent close application prompt), have add condition remove ca clientremovecustomaction - kills desktop application.

 <custom action='clientremovecustomaction' before='installvalidate'> (not upgradingproductcode) , (remove="all") or (remove) <!--  unintall     , upgrade, need ask uninstall password--> </custom> 

when rollback done, service not started have add following custom action start service in case of rollback. need understand ca should sequenced possible executed @ last in rollback.

<custom action='startserviceifnotrunningidroll' after='installinitialize'>  (installed)  <!--this restart service in case of rollback.-->  </custom> 

please let me know if there better solution.
