Do both of your installers use the same component ID for that DLL?
Robert Barnes <robert.bar...@gmail.com> 01/14/2010 11:53 PM Please respond to "General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset." <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> To wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net cc Subject [WiX-users] Confused by "File in use" Hi All, I have created an installer with Wix for one of our products. It works very well and in general I am happy with it. However there is one small niggle that I haven't been able to solve myself - when installing (I always do major upgrades) the installer detects a file in use by another one of our programs that isn't actually a part of my product! However this same dll is used by both my product and the other program - same dll, same name but installed into two different directories, so the other program is not actually using the dll that is being installed it is using a copy in a different path. Why does the installer get confused?
