Hi Bob,
So I figured out why this one is failing and the reason is a bit weird. So if I
open VS as an administrator, then the MSI does not detect the VS instance else
if I open VS by simply clicking the VS link in Programs, the MSI does detect VS.
I am executing the MSI on Vista. I think this is the case with only Vista. With
all other OS the MSI works just fine and detects the instances of VS.
Anyways thanks for the help!
Thanks,
Kiran

Hi Bob,
I am afraid but the log shows that the CA ran successfully, although it doesn't
touch the property. Whereas this works with all the other application exes.
Wonder why it doesn't work for VS exe. Any clues?
Thanks,
Kiran

I am trying to use the 'CloseApplication' CA to avoid installation if any
instances of Visual Studio are running. The action does not work properly and
the installation continues even if VS is open.
I tested the CA by specifying 'notepad.exe' as the target and it works as
expected. How come the CA couldn't trace down the VS process? Am I doing
anything wrong here?
Looks right. Check a verbose log to see if the CA is running correctly and if
the property's being touched.
