You're running into something a bit odd here. Notepad doesn't open files in exclusive locked mode. For example, open a txt file in Notepad and while it is opened in Notepad go to Explorer and you should have no problems deleting the file. Same with WordPad. If it doesn't work like that on your system then that's where I'd start checking. The full Microsoft Word does open files in exclusive locked mode.
Also, a verbose uninstall log might give you some clues. Good luck... -----Original Message----- From: Andy.Kruger [mailto:appr...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, May 10, 2010 3:12 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] FilesInUse and text files My application installation folder tree is not removed when the releasenotes.txt file is kept opened in notepad during uninstall. When I opened in wordpad, it removed the folder tree, but FilesInUse dialog is not shown in both the cases Any idea why?? Is this an expected behavior of MSI? ----- Andy MSI Developer Schneider Electric -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/FilesInUse -and-text-files-tp5029834p5029834.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
