If I try this: <util:CloseApplication Id="NetSvrUI" CloseMessage="yes" Target="NetSvrUI.exe" ElevatedCloseMessage="yes" RebootPrompt="no" />
I still get the error 2762 (see trace below), this happens with any combination of ElevatedCloseMessage and RebootPrompt. Also, the CloseApplication custom action is not stopping the application. I have a test application that I have written to send WM_CLOSE to the same program and that works ok. Let me know if you want me to try anything else.

Eric just added a new attribute to try sending the WM_CLOSE while elevated; you might try that. -- 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
