Hi. I have a setup installer that installs ext2fsd v0.51 (a third party windows file system driver found here: http://www.ext2fsd.com/) using the WiX Toolset v3.5.2201 and DIFxApp:
<difx:Driver PlugAndPlayPrompt="no" AddRemovePrograms="no" /> I basically followed the guide here: http://kobyk.wordpress.com/2008/10/21/installing-filter-drivers-with-difxapp-and-a-wix-v3-msi/ Install and uninstall work without issues. The uninstall detects a reboot is required because ext2fsd cannot be stopped/unloaded on demand. When asked about this behavior, the ext2fsd author indicated "Ext2Fsd does NOT support 'STOP' or 'UNLOAD' any more. There are various filters on the top [and] below [the] file system driver. If you [forcefully] unload the [files system driver], there might be unexpected NULL structures reference. All known windows file systems are NOT supporting 'UNLOAD'." See http://sourceforge.net/p/ext2fsd/discussion/143329/thread/d829b011/ And so the end-user is prompted to reboot after uninstall. However, the problem occurs during a major upgrade where an uninstall of the old version is scheduled before the re-install of the new version: <InstallExecuteSequence> ... <RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallValidate" /> ... The ext2fsd driver is uninstalled but is not re-installed. Here are some relevant snippets from the upgrade MSI log file on Windows 7 x64: ...

Is this scenario supported by the WiX Toolset? If so, what is the recommend approach to handle it? Is it possible to ask the user to reboot after the uninstall but before the re-install during the upgrade? Otherwise, it seems I have to "manually" perform the uninstall outside of the new setup installer, prompt the user to reboot, and then allow the user to reinstall the product after the reboot, which is what I'm trying to avoid. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor 25 network devices or servers for free with OpManager!
