The Win2k Service Failure Actions bean provides properties that determine how Windows 2000 will handle a service failure. A service is considered failed if it terminates without first reporting a status of SERVICE_STOPPED. This bean allows the developer to specify zero or more failure actions.

Data can be entered for this bean whether a service is being installed on a Windows NT or 2000 target machine. However, since failure actions are not supported by Windows NT, this data is ignored on that platform, and it does not cause the installer to fail.

For more information about how to set up failure actions, see the Win32 API documentation for the SERVICE_FAILURE_ACTIONS structure and the ChangeServiceConfig2 function (using SERVICE_CONFIG_FAILURE_ACTIONS for the dwInfoLevel parameter).
