Starting Windows Installer from cmdlines.txt

[Bezalel]

Is it safe to start the Windows Installer Service from cmdlines.txt?

[jondercik]

Why do you need to start the service?

It's been done before. I'm pretty sure it works OK if manually started.

The vast majority of my switchless silent installers run from svcpack.inf, which is before cmdlines.txt, and they are all repackaged .msi based installs. Also, my installers for Windows Journal Viewer and Photostory 3, both repackaged .msi installs, run from cmdlines.txt. So the Windows Installer service is certainly available at that point.
