[WiX-users] Burn does not show close application warning during uninstall

Hi everyone, I got a small problem during uninstall of my application. If I install/uninstall just with an MSI on W7 for example, I get the dialog that some applications must be closed before continuing install. When I use that MSI within my burn-bootstrapper, this dialog does not appear. Do I

Hi Blair, thanks for the input. I let the whole thing run while also using Process Monitor to log all processes being created and you were right: The last rtpMIDISetup.exe process (showing the erroneous dialog) is instantiated from runonce.exe, which itself is instantiated from MsiExec.exe...

Re: [WiX-users] Burn installation with Aladdin eToken driver (msi) opens second burn's window.

Hi, thanks for that input as well. My driver's inf-file does not contain any RunOnce entries. So I assume that burn is doing that somewhere... Could Rob or Bob possibly chime in on this? I'd gladly do some more digging/debugging, but as I still do not fully understand the overall

Re: [WiX-users] Burn installation with Aladdin eToken driver (msi) opens second burn's window.

Hi everyone, I do have the same problem with my burn-package which first installs an MSI with a driver (using custom-action DLL) and then the application MSI. This only happens on Windows XP, not on Windows 7 or 8. If I replace the driver-install CA in the first MSI by a special diagnosis

[WiX-users] Documentation on website...

Hi Christopher It's hard for me to give an exact answer without being there and getting really close to the problem.  That said, I would suggest looking at the Component states ($comp=x and ?comp=x )  to figure out if a component is being installed for the first time, reinstalled
