Hi,
I'm facing a strange issue with the installer I'm developing using WiX. This 
application is installed per machine, and if the application was installed from 
an elevated command prompt (e.g. if the app was silently installed) then 
Windows Installer will not check for files in use, leaving files around.
Looking at the logs of installs from elevated and non-elevated prompts I see 
that the former results in a DeploymentFlag value of "3" in the registry key 
for my installer, while the latter results in a value of "2". Poking with these 
values results in changes in this behavior so I think it might be related. 
There were other references but didn't seem to be related to this issue.
I realize this might not be strictly related to WiX itself, although there's 
probably something that can be done from WiX to indicate Windows Installer I 
need the files in use checked regardless of how the app was installed (which 
seems like a bug in windows installer to me).
Thanks!Fernando
