Hi,
I'm having problem with a scenario where the user has a program running 
while he installs an update (implemented as Major upgrade). The Windows 
Installer cannot replace all the files so it finishes with error code = 
ERROR_SUCCESS_REBOOT_REQUIRED.

After the installation is completed the user can still use the older 
version of the program, but any Dynamic Libraries which were not loaded 
during the update are in the new version and are incompatible with the 
old program and the program crashes.

Can I instruct Windows Installer to keep the old version consistent and 
perform the whole update procedure during Windows restart? How do you 
solve this issue?
(Our programs are not prepared to use Restart Manager and our 
installations are using just Windows Installer 2.0)

Thank you for your help
Ondřej Zarevúcky
