No, it doesn't have UI. (Ideally, it could integrate into the existing files-in-use functionality, but it's not clear it's really extensible.) CloseApplication exists mostly for things like tray apps that don't have a main window in the sense MSI expects (top-level visible window with a title) and shows in the FilesInUse dialog. Also, when you use Property, it lets you control the UI via conditions. > I have added a line like this to my installation: > > <util:CloseApplication Id="MyApp" CloseMessage="yes" > Target="MyApp.exe" /> > When CloseMessage='yes', it should send a WM_CLOSE message to the target's main window. Turn on verbose logging from WcaUtil <http://www.joyofsetup.com/2008/07/15/verbose-logging-from-wcautil/> and you'll get the details of what it's doing. > DEBUG: Error 2762: Unable to schedule operation.

RebootPrompt='no' turns that off so it should be usable outside InstallInitialize/InstallFinalize. -- 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
