We have a hotfix installer that replaces the old dll with a new dll in Program
Files/GAC.
It opens a handle for the file being replaced. So while replacement, if we do
not close this handle, an error is coming up - Access Denied.
In some products of our team itself, we are not seeing this error
I found the solution.
Using Reinstall and ReinstallMode control events did the trick:
--
Publish Event=ReinstallMode Value=m Order=11/Publish
Publish Event=Reinstall Value=Registry Order=21/Publish
--
(these events are tied to a PushButton control)

(Perhaps condition the execute sequence CA to only run if UILevel 4)
2. The CA should enumerate every msi in WINDOWS\installer.

This regression was reported on wix-devs last week. Sorry I didn't get the fix
in last week's build, but it is a top priority. The regression was from a fix I
did for bug 2663956 Eror creating or opening a Load Test.

Thanks that will do it, provided that during the enumeration I can identify the
original msi (which is created by our customers, as I'm just shipping a merge
module.)
I'd imagined using the handle of the currently-running msi (the newer version
that's going to run RemoveExistingProducts) to
You can identify the msi by searching each MSI for your CA in the execute
sequence using msi sql.
The sequenced CA should have a signature that you can easily detect (the name
of your CA, the target, the wrong condition being parts of the signature).
On second thoughts, this technique is
