:-( I have multi-MSI installation chained by our External UI application. Is there a way, how to detect locked files before the whole installation chain is run?
I know about INSTALLMESSAGE_FILESINUSE, but I'd like to display one message containing all blocking programs instead of one message for each chained MSI.
