You may be able to use some combination of MSIRMSHUTDOWN and MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL to get the result you want. Having said that, you seem to be saying that MSI/RM is already scheduling a reboot if it doesn't shut things down properly, but that seems to be the problem you're trying to solve, so

Thank you for the pointers, Phil. I will give ReplacedInUseFiles a try. I do see logs from RM saying that a reboot will be necessary. I am not sure if a ScheduleReboot custom action needs to be defined with the proper conditions for this reboot to happen. Currently, i do not have a

What was the exit code of that setup? I'd expect 3010 if it was going to do a reboot. Did it reboot after the install that this log is from? It's still not clear to me if it should be rebooting but isn't or not rebooting but you think it should. You shouldn't need a ScheduleReboot action if

[WiX-users] Burn.exe for ARM platform

2014-02-17 Thread Jun Yin
In wix38-binaries package, it seems that only the x86 platform version of Burn.exe is provided (under wix38-binaries\x86 directory). I am wondering if an ARM platform of Burn.exe would be provided too. If not, are we allowed to compile one using the source code under wix38-debug\src\burn?

We'd love to build ARM as well but Microsoft didn't release all of the tools/libraries to do so. Maybe you can get Microsoft to release the missing ARM tools/libraries? -Original Message- From: Jun Yin [mailto:jun...@microsoft.com] Sent: Monday, February 17, 2014 2:57 PM To:

Off the top of my head, the VersionType in wix.xsd probably doesn't support that syntax. Today. You could try suppressing schema validation on the compiler and seeing if that avoids the problem. -Original Message- From: Grant Anderson [mailto:grant.ander...@dmcinfo.com] Sent: Monday,

2014-02-17 Thread Hoover, Jacob
I'm not 100% certain on this, but I think the format of the message was controlled by the MSI itself. If you don't provide a record, WI does some default formatting for you. Instead of overriding the default or tweaking the engine, have you tried to customize the message from within the MSI?
