Subject: Re: [WiX-users] CloseApplication I don't think you can make the filesinuse dialog appear without trying to replace a file in use. Why not close Outlook for the user with CloseMessage="yes" ? -----Original Message----- From: StevenOgilvie [mailto:sogil...@msn.com] Sent: 17 October 2012 16:21 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] CloseApplication I am trying to close Outlook since our product is a add-in for outlook, the uninstall brings the FileInUseProcess which is great, but I also want this for the INSTALL I am doing this but it is not working: <util:CloseApplication Id="CloseMicrosoftOutlook" Property="FileInUseProcess" CloseMessage="no" ElevatedCloseMessage="no" Description="Microsoft Outlook is open and needs to be closed before this installation continues" RebootPrompt="no" Target="OUTLOOK.EXE" /> <CustomAction Id="CA_SetProperty_FileInUseProcess" Execute="immediate" Impersonate="yes" Property="[FileInUseProcess]" Value="OUTLOOK.EXE"/> <UI> <ProgressText Action="CA_SetProperty_FileInUseProcess">CA: Setting file in use process...</ProgressText> </UI> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="CA_SetProperty_FileInUseProcess" Before="InstallValidate"></Custom> <InstallUISequence> <Custom Action="CA_SetProperty_FileInUseProcess" After="AppSearch"></Custom> Any suggestions?
