Ok a follow up question,

 

Where do I put the uninstall custom action at in the Wix file?

 

My wix file doesn’t contain any kind of remove / uninstall sections from what I can tell?

Ahh ok.. I understand.

 

Can you tell me more about this CloseApps CA ? Is this an existing item I can just hook into?

You’d have to use a CustomAction like CloseApps to kill off more than just those files that are held in use by a process with a visible window.

What is the correct method in the WIX file to list the process names that should / need to be killed before uninstall occurs?

 

What we are seeing is that if process A is running… the MSI at uninstall time will uninstall all of the other files ( dll’s / xml’s / etc ) and then prompt the user to reboot. At reboot the process A is removed.

 

The bug is that if the user chooses not to reboot.. and clicks on the process A systray icon this will cause process A to crash since it’s dependent files are now gone.

 

How do I tell the MSI uninstall process to kill process A ?

 

Thanks,

Jeff
