Hi All, My installer consists of dll library that is being used by several applications and when we update this dll on Windows 2008, I noted that Restart manager kicks in and restarts those apps that use our dll. However, we would like to disable this behavior and I found that I can probably do this using Restart manager apis but I would like to ask some questions to clarify my understanding on this.
1. Can I use just set MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL property instead of calling Restart manager apis because Restart manager is only avaiable Vista and later windows but I do not want to create a separate installer depending on windows version. 2. If I can use MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL property, I read that Disable means it will use FileInUse but most of the time our update is done without human interaction and thus, we run the updates with "REINSTALL=MainProgram REINSTALLMODE=vo /norestart" option. So is it fine not to worry about FileInUse case if I can control Restart manager with MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL property? 3. If I cannot use MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL, am I correct to use RmAddFilter to control? I can't predict which apps use my dll in certain case so I am so certain how to provide the string value for RmAddFilter? Is there any other way to achieve this? Thank you very much in advance. Have a great day!
