But don't you have to put something in the InstallExecuteSequence like <Custom Action="WixCloseApplications" After="InstallInitialize" />

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] CloseApplication This is what we use: <util:CloseApplication Id="CloseApplication" Target="XXX.exe" RebootPrompt="no" ElevatedCloseMessage="yes" CloseMessage="yes"> ?XXX.exe = 3 and ($XXX.exe = 2 or $XXX.exe = 4) </util:CloseApplication> where XXX.exe is the component Id of the exe. It works for upgrade as well as removal because we use an early scheduling of RemoveExistingProducts (which is the default when using <MajorUpgrade>) and that removes the existing product first. -----Original Message----- From: Stephen R Cook [mailto:stephen.r.c...@dom.com] Sent: 12 October 2011 17:00 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] CloseApplication I am working on a silent installer for an application and I need to be able to call the WixCloseApplications custom action on uninstall and upgrade. The installer is set to upgrade a previous version. I can get it to close the application when I am upgrading, but not uninstalling. ------------------------------------------- Stephen Cook Dominion Information Technology Phone: (304)627-3213 Tie Line: 8-630-3213 CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This electronic message contains information which may be legally confidential and/or privileged and does not in any case represent a firm ENERGY COMMODITY bid or offer relating thereto which binds the sender without an additional express written confirmation to that effect.
