It's expected because Windows 7 MSI engine has a better detection mechanism (Restart Manager) for files in use. Prior to that it wouldn't detect apps minimized in the system tray. Maybe WiX's close apps custom action would help.

Our QA found an issue: during uninstallation, if our app is minimized in systray, the FileInUse dialog doesn't show up. That will cause crash when the end user tries to activate and run the app - as the app is already uninstalled. I tried it, in Windows 7, it works fine - I did see the FileInUse dialog showing up. But in XP, the FileInUse dialog didn't show. I found this post: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/FileInUse-and-MsiRMFilesInUse-dialogs-td4430290.html#a4430934 Does it mean the "FileInUse doesn't work in XP" is the expected behavior? If so, is there anything I could do to make it work in XP? Our QA(and PM) is after me for this issue. I own them an explanation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
