Windows Services - Recovery Options - "Enable actions for Stop with Errors" on Windows Server 2008

Question

Dear collegues, I'm trying to make my service to enable this option at the service install process. I'm currently using the extension ServiceInstallerEx as seen in : http://www.codeproject.com/KB/install/sercviceinstallerext.aspx?display=Print The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to find anywhere on that extension a way to enable this option for windows 2008 servers. Does anyone here know a way around it ? (or have a more deep insight on the advapi32.dll library) Thanks in advance, Damian

DotNetZip supports these scenarios:

- a Silverlight app that dynamically creates zip files.

- an ASP.NET app that dynamically creates ZIP files and allows a browser to
download them
- a Windows Service that periodically zips up a directory for backup andarchival purposes

- a WPF program that modifies existing archives - renaming entries, removing
entries from an archive, or adding new entries to an archive

- a Windows Forms app
that creates AES-encrypted zip archives for privacy of archived content.

- a SSIS script that unzips or zips

- An administrative script in PowerShell or VBScript that performs backup and
archival.

- a WCF service that receives a zip file as an attachment, and dynamically
unpacks the zip to a stream for analysis

- an old-school ASP (VBScript) application that produces a ZIP file via the COM
interface for DotNetZIp

- a Windows Forms app that reads or updates ODS files

- creating zip files from stream content, saving to a stream, extracting to a
stream, reading from a stream

- creation of self-extracting archives.



If all you want is a better DeflateStream or GZipStream class to replace the
one that is built-into the .NET BCL, DotNetZip has that, too. DotNetZip's
DeflateStream and GZipStream are available in a standalone assembly, based on a
.NET port of Zlib. These streams support compression levels and deliver much
better performance than the built-in classes. There is also a ZlibStream to
complete the set (RFC 1950, 1951, 1952).


And the price for all this: totally FREE.
