InstallShield LE 1001 Error / Installing Windows Service on Windows XP

Question

I got a 1001 error and had fight a lot against it using InstallShield LE (Visual Studio 2013) to deploy a simple Windows Service on Windows XP.

Sometimes the error happened, sometimes not.

Answer 1

And finally I found the cause: My Services.msc window was opened, and when I uninstall the service it get "marked for deletion" but the window holds the service there until I close it.

So, close the services.msc window while reinstalling the service, to avoid this lock problem.
