Sorry I forgot to copy the user group in on that reply.. This is the
best way I can do it with WIX 2:
<Property Id="QtExecCmdLine" Value='"[SystemFolder]taskkill.exe" /im
wsq95.exe /t /f'/>
<CustomAction Id="QtExec" BinaryKey="wixca"
DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="immediate" Return="ignore"/>
<Binary Id="wixca" src=".\wixtools\wixca.dll"/>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="QtExec"
After="InstallInitialize">
Installed
</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
-----------------------------------------------------
I assume this is WIX 3 only?
I read that it is incomplete on the user mailing list..
My best stab is still calling taskkill.exe directly with various
switches :(
