Hi, i've been a bit distracted so got half way through trying to implement this..
I'm installing an IE plugin so would like to prompt the user to get them to restart IE (or at least ask if they want to) and i'm having a few problems I can use the closeApplication custom action to set a property as follows: <util:CloseApplication Id="CheckIE" CloseMessage="no" Property="IERunning" Target="iexplore.exe" RebootPrompt="no"/><InstallUISequence><Custom Action="WixCloseApplications" Before="AppSearch"/></InstallUISequence>and then use that to display a dialog during installation asking if the user would like IE to be restarted and sets a property if required. But then i come unstuck. I've tried to use the Description property of CloseApplication to display a message, but that doesn't seem to work. I've also tried to schedule another CloseApplication to occur at the end of the install based on the value of my property: <util:CloseApplication Id="CloseIE" CloseMessage="yes" Target="iexplore.exe" RebootPrompt="no">AutoRestartIE</util:CloseApplication><InstallExecuteSequence><Custom Action="WixCloseApplications" After="InstallValidate"/></InstallExecuteSequence>Where AutoRestartIE is the property set by the dialog. It seems that only one of the CloseApplication actions is run (which ever is listed first) and i've tried to add a sequence value to them to no avail. the relevant output of the log is like this: Doing action: WixCloseApplicationsAction 17:36: WixCloseApplications.
