Hello, I understand restartresource is only available on vista and up. I'm trying to restart explorer on install and after uninstall because I have a contextmenu attached to the shell.
I only see explorer restarting on an upgrade, but not on install or uninstall. I have taskmanager running and showing a PID for explorer, and the PID never changes on install and uninstall. I'm following Heath Stewart's suggestion at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heaths/archive/2010/09/16/restart-manager-functionality-in-wix-3-5.aspx <util:RestartResource Id="restart_Explorer" Path="[EXPLORERPATH]" ProcessName="explorer.exe"/> <Property Id="EXPLOREPATH" > <DirectorySearch Id="FindExplorerDir" AssignToProperty="no" Depth="0" Path="[WindowsFolder]"> <FileSearch Id="FindExplorer" Name="explorer.exe" /> </DirectorySearch> </Property> Any suggestions?
