Ok, I'm making a bit of progress. Here's what the msi log says: MSI (s) (80:C8) [10:11:05:038]: RESTART MANAGER: Detected that application with id 5816, friendly name ' ', of type RmUnknownApp and status 1 holds file[s] in use.
Clearly the friendly name is blank. So the big question is: where do we set the friendly name? I've also got a bug about how our application doesn't display any name in the default programs dialog. Clearly something on the assembly isn't being set. What is that something?

It's detecting that we're running, and if we say "next" on the dialog our application shuts down properly. But the list box is empty. How can we go about debugging why?

However, the FilesInUse dialog that comes with WiXUI isn't showing anything in the listbox of running processes.

So it should be automatic "free." If MSI doesn't find the right kind of windows or titles, it should skip them and, if none, not show FilesInUse at all (just reboot). -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
