OPC UA LDS Service is removed when installing a second product containing the UA LDS 1.03 merge module (on same host )|OPC UA Implementation: Stacks, Tools, and Samples|Forum|OPC Foundation

Hello all,

I have created 2 installers (for different products) that include the 'OPC_UA_Local_Discovery_Server_1.03.msm' merge module (from opc-ua-local-discovery-server-1.03.367-mergemodule-20170518.zip). When I install the first product, the 'OPCF Bonjour Service' and 'OPC UA Local Discovery Service' are installed and started. When I run the second installer, the 'OPC UA Local Discovery Service' is removed from the services but the files are still present on the file system. The 'ualds.exe' process is also missing in the task manager.

Here are some 'interesting' details from the installer log for the second application, the lines below do not appear in the installer log of the first application.

Line 9375: MSI (s) (60:00) [10:21:52:823]: Executing op: RegisterSharedComponentProvider(,,File=opcualds.exe.4E6EDC62C0B245CF831D3C5D4806F990,Component={F2957780-1BDE-4A54-AD41-864FD1BC51FE},ComponentVersion=1.3.341.0,ProductCode={AD3D9D38-66A7-4010-BA66-DFABF66A81B3},ProductVersion=1.5.17166,PatchSize=0,PatchAttributes=0,PatchSequence=0,SharedComponent=0,IsFullFile=0)

The UA LDS installs and updates fine when using the MSI (as chained MSI) instead of the merge module.

Did someone else notice the same behavior too?

I don't have access to the Mantis bug tracker yet so that is the reason for posting the question here.
