[WiX-users] Uninstalling with application running

Good morning Wix users :) I've come across an instance where uninstalling our product while it is running succeeds and leaves the application running. The Program Files directory, ARP entry, all registry keys etc are all removed. Going into task manager, right clicking the application and

Re: [WiX-users] Uninstalling with application running

Depends on the file locks. A binary that is simply loaded in a process can be moved/renamed and the directory it was originally in when it was loaded removed without disturbing the process, but if the process is holding other files in that same directory open with different kinds of file locks

There are feature requests open to configure more of IIS. It is likely your settings are in that list. All that is needed is for some people to step up and help implement that changes. -Original Message- From: Carter Young [mailto:ecyo...@grandecom.net] Sent: Thursday, January 9, 2014

Re: [WiX-users] Patching strategy

We've decided to go with the approach you've suggested, and I will look into delta patches to reduce the patch size (although since most of our changed files will be videos, I would guess deltas wouldn't help much). As far as each patch superseding the last, is this something we need to specify
