Why do you want to force a restart? Your application is safely gone. Those 
files will be cleaned up whenever the users chooses to restart again.

Subject: [WiX-users] No reboot for locked files during uninstallation.

Hi,


Our product installs DLLs as part of installation. Most of the DLLs are used by 
our application but couple of these are also used by other processes and 
applications. When we uninstall the product, our main application is closed and 
DLLs are freed. However, other processes may still be running and thus, some 
DLLs may be locked.


During uninstallation, Windows installer copies these files to C:\Config.msi. 
When uninstallation completes, there is no message for reboot or cleanup. 
However MSI log shows the entry  Info 1903. Scheduling reboot operation: 
Deleting file C:\Config.Msi\3f6c9d1.rbf. Must reboot to complete operation.


My problem is how to show the user that a reboot is required to cleanup the 
files. Currently uninstallation finish screen doesn't show any message that a 
reboot maybe required.


I have a sample package which demonstrates the issue, if anyone needs.


Thanks & hoping for a reply.


Regards,

Akshat
