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

I can live with it, but would switching the predicate in the first case work? Seems like it should normally go ahead and start or fail, but if somebody has an issue we can tell them to use the command line option and override it?

I would say we could go with the same logic on upgrades, just do it by default, not if overridden.

> 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.
