This isn't technically a WiX question, but I figured there was no harm in asking:
I've written a bootstrapper for our various products, one that uses MsiSetExternalUI to hook into the MSIs to retrieve error messages, progress, and the like (I've based off the example handler found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368786%28VS.85%29.aspx). I would also like to be able to deal with FilesInUse messages, but I'm unsure how to actually retrieve the information on which applications need to be closed (they don't show up in the message string that gets sent). I've discovered that appending [1], [2], etc. the 1607 message (files in use), the message sent to the UI handler then receives the application names, but when uninstalling directly from Add/Remove Programs, the internal UI doesn't seem to do the string substitution and I end up with "The following applications should be closed before continuing the install: [1] [2]..." being displayed to the user. So basically the short version of my question: Does anyone know a way to retrieve the list of applications for a 1607 (files in use) message in an external UI without screwing up what is displayed by the internal UI when run directly from the .msi? I don't suppose anyone has run into this issue before and found an acceptable solution? -Andy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
