I don't think you should be doing this. Windows will just take of the situation. I have several versions of Visual Studio on my system, and if they are all running at the same time they're all called devenv.exe. Are you going to shut them all down whether they have your add-in loaded or not? Or someone in the middle of developing something will get a messagebox confirming that they want to shut down and save their changes? I don't know whether you can get this working in WiX or not, but IMO it's not a good idea.

It is installing successfully thru Wix Installer. Now while uninstalling that VS Addin, I would like to close instance of my addin if it is opened in VS IDE. I have tried using <util:CloseApplication Id="VSClose_1" CloseMessage="yes" Target="devenv.exe" RebootPrompt="no" /> but it is not working properly. Can you tell me if there is any other way to implement this kind of scinario in WIX Regards, Jagdish Sakhiya "Legal Disclaimer: This electronic message and all contents contain information from Cybage Software Private Limited which may be privileged, confidential, or otherwise protected from disclosure.
