Re: [WiX-users] Closing program on uninstall

CloseApplication/ feature is available with onlu Wix v3.0 right? How do we
implement the same functionality using WiX v2.0?

 A custom 'files in use' dialog is yet to be implemented.
 
 The defaults are to prompt for a reboot but not do anything else.
 
 If you want the application to actually be closed, set CloseMessage to
 'yes'.

 Hi Bob, thanks for the nabble link.
 
 I have taken a look at the Wix.chm also, I have the following in my
 Product section
 
 CloseApplication xmlns=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension;
 Id=CloseTrayApp Target=TrayApp.exe /
 
 Currently it doesn't appear to be doing anything (although it does
 compile and link)
 
 I'm guessing I need to specify when/how it runs. I only want it to run
 on uninstall (i.e. before I attempt to remove TrayApp.exe, but I don't
 know how I can schedule this.
 
 I'm also experimenting with a VBScript CustomAction to achieve the same
 thing, but currently I haven't got that working either.

Re: [WiX-users] Closing program on uninstall

2008-01-17 Thread Christopher Painter 
I'm researching something ( new to me )... deploying VSTO add-ins.   The 
project that I'm working on involves several addins targeting both Office 2003 
( vsto 2005se) and Office 2007 ( vsto 3.0 ).   There are also components 
outside of office that ressemble a more traditional windows application.   
   
  We want to bundle all of his together so ClickOnce doesn't seem approriate. ( 
Correct/Wrong? )
   
  So the articles I've read point to using MSI to copy the files to the target 
FS and calling %CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\VSTO\9.0\VSTOInstaller.exe 
to install the vsto packages. 
   
  Has anyone seen an alternative to this EXE CA pattern?   Are there any 
automation interfaces, WiXExtensions, etc to make this a better story?It 
seems like another case of devenv /setup  to me.
