You can use the MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL property to disable restart manager (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370377(VS.85).aspx). I have had issues with RM and services, does your install include a service?

Hello everyone, When running my msi as part of a major upgrade on Vista with msiexec /qb, I get a dialog stating "The following applications should be closed before continuing the install" followed by the app that the msi will replace and that is currently running and the option to close and attempt to restart the app or instead not to close the app and thus require a reboot. A similar dialog with something like "Files in use" in its text appears if I run the msi with full UI. On Windows XP or Windows 2000 no such dialogs appear at all. How can I prevent these two dialogs from appearing? My app is already Vista restart manager aware so it successfully restarts after an update, therefore I see no reason why these dialogs should appear at all. Am I missing something? I am using WiX version 3.0.4805 in case that matters. Any help appreciated, -- Stefan Kuhr -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Prevent-%22files-in-use%22-dialog--tp3115333p311533 3.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
