Thanks Travis for your reply.
Yes, we tried CloseApplication, but it doesn't help. ________________________________ From: Travis Gaff <tra...@pc-doctor.com> To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Wed, August 4, 2010 2:08:07 PM Subject: Re: [WiX-users] FileInUse doesn't work in XP? I think we found similar issues. The RMFilesInUse behavior is different in XP vs. Windows 7 and possibly in Vista as well. We ended up adding several custom actions to try to stop our executables both with and without elevation. You can try the WiX util:CloseApplication to get started, but we found that it wasn't sufficiently aggressive in stopping our application.

Our QA found an issue: during uninstallation, if our app is minimized in systray, the FileInUse dialog doesn't show up. That will cause crash when the end user tries to activate and run the app - as the app is already uninstalled. I tried it, in Windows 7, it works fine - I did see the FileInUse dialog showing up. But in XP, the FileInUse dialog didn't show. I found this post: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/FileInUse-an d-MsiRMFilesInUse-dialogs-td4430290.html#a4430934 Does it mean the "FileInUse doesn't work in XP" is the expected behavior? If so, is there anything I could do to make it work in XP? Our QA(and PM) is after me for this issue. I own them an explanation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
