I changed WixCloseApplications to run before InstallInitialize but this did not help either. From the .msi log, I see
Action 12:12:49: WixCloseApplications. > Action start 12:12:49: WixCloseApplications. > Action ended 12:12:50: WixCloseApplications. Return value 1. > Action 12:12:50: InstallInitialize. > Action start 12:12:50: InstallInitialize. > Action ended 12:12:55: InstallInitialize. Return value 1. I expected some kind of dialog saying I had these applications open, and for the installer to either shut them down or prompt me to shutdown, but no browsers get closed and there is no indication of any changes. > <UI> > <DialogRef Id="FilesInUse" /> > <DialogRef Id="MsiRMFilesInUse" /> > <UIRef Id="WixUI_InstallDir" /> > <UIRef Id="WixUI_ErrorProgressText" /> > </UI> > <InstallExecuteSequence> > <Custom Action="WixCloseApplications" Before="InstallInitialize" /> > <Custom Action="QtExecInstallCmdLineSet" After="InstallFiles">Not > Installed</Custom> > <Custom Action="QtExecInstallCmdLineRun" > After="QtExecInstallCmdLineSet">Not Installed</Custom> > <ScheduleReboot After="QtExecInstallCmdLineRun" /> > <Custom Action="QtExecUninstallCmdLineSet" > Before="RemoveFiles">Installed</Custom> > <Custom Action="QtExecUninstallCmdLineRun" > After="QtExecUninstallCmdLineSet">Installed</Custom> > </InstallExecuteSequence> > <util:CloseApplication Id="CloseIE" CloseMessage="no" > Description="Internet Explorer is still > running." > ElevatedCloseMessage="no" > RebootPrompt="no" > Target="iexplore.exe"/> > <util:CloseApplication Id="CloseChrome" CloseMessage="no" > Description="Chrome is still running." > ElevatedCloseMessage="no" > RebootPrompt="no" > Target="chrome.exe"/> > <util:CloseApplication Id="CloseFirefox" CloseMessage="no" > Description="Chrome is still running." > ElevatedCloseMessage="no" > RebootPrompt="no" > Target="firefox.exe"/> On Wed, Apr 25, 2012 at 12:04 PM, E.
