Re: [WiX-users] Question about InstallValidation for uninstall
In case no one answered, EmbeddedUI is the most effective way. -Original Message- From: Elfe Xu [mailto:elf...@microsoft.com] Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2010 6:33 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Question about InstallValidation for uninstall Thanks Phil. My question is: is there anyway for me to hide the MsiRMFilesInUse dialog, and do the close/restart application automatically?

Re: [WiX-users] Question about InstallValidation for uninstall
That's a fair description of MsiRMFilesInUse: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370379(VS.85).aspx Apps should integrate with Restart Manager to get automatic restart, and they get an oppurtunity to save state and restart where they left off.
