Scott Cantor commented on SSPCPP-517:
-------------------------------------

Yeah, that isn't a viable solution. Is there a way to just not tell it to start? I know if you install a service from the command line, it doesn't start for you even if you set it as Automatic. That just affects reboots.

> The SP Windows installer currently installs the software, tries to start shibd, and then removes the software if shibd does not start. Troubleshooting the reason that shibd did not start generally requires that the SP software be installed, however.
> Either disable the rollback functionality completely, or provide an option (GUI or command line) to let the user disable it.
