When Application B's installer is loading MyRuntime.dll, it increments
a ref. or "shared file" count for the dll; when Application A (or B)
are uninstalled, the ref. count is decremented by 1, and MyRuntime.dll
still persists in the eg: ..\System\Bin dir.
When the OTHER app. is uninstalled the ref. count gets decremented (to
zero), file gets removed, system is completely "cleaned up" etc......
My questions:
1. Is there an identical mechanism in WIX?
The Windows Installer model uses components to handle sharing. The MSI
SDK talks a lot about it and, of course, Rob's blog entry is useful:
