Re: [WiX-users] FilesInUse Dialog is not working properly...
One of the things required for Windows Installer to put an entry in the FilesInUse dialog is that it needs to be able to find a window handle. This is why the program doesn't appear in the list if it is in the tray. I think this might have been sorted out in Windows Installer v4. You'll need a custom action to get round the problem.

Rob, Could you give some example code (custom action) to workaround for this problem. Thanks a lot!

Re: [WiX-users] FilesInUse Dialog is not working properly...
This page has a good example of enumerating processes and getting the executable file names. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682623.aspx You would need your Custom Action to read a property from the MSI which contained the names to look for, and then compare that list against the processes as you go through them. You can then do whatever it is that needs doing to populate the FilesInUse dialog, or show a dialog asking the user to close the program.

Re: [WiX-users] FilesInUse Dialog is not working properly...
Hi, According to this topic I'd like to ask whether it is a good or bad choice if I use an embedded DLL (Binary) implenting the functionality to tackle with the running executable issue. It becomes interesting when it comes to deploying the application to 64 bit platforms. I mean in this case, would it be a must to provide a 64 bit version of the DLL, too? 2007/9/24, Rob Hamflett [EMAIL PROTECTED]: This page has a good example of enumerating processes and getting the executable file names. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682623.aspx You would need your Custom Action to read a property from the MSI which contained the names to look for, and then compare that list against the processes as you go through them.

Re: [WiX-users] FilesInUse Dialog is not working properly...
I think a DLL is probably the best way to handle most custom actions. I'm fairly sure the 32-bit version would work fine under Win64. You could always create a DLL that does nothing too difficult and give it a quick test.

WiX v3 ships the CloseApplication custom action that lets you close apps and/or detect whether they're running. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

No, because MSI automatically detects the bitness of a DLL and runs an appropriate custom action server. Therefore it's safe to use 32-bit CA DLLs unless you need to provide a 64-bit version for specific functionality. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
