Hi,
We use MSI Major Upgrade to update our products on servers. In
the light of some recent failures during upgrade, we have been working towards
hardening our installation package so that a reboot can be scheduled in the
worst case. I have been looking at various Installer properties/actions
Unfortunately I don't understand much of that preamble. If you're
getting failures during upgrades, perhaps explain how reboots are
involved, if that's what you're looking at. I've only heard the term
hardening in the sense of making a system more resistant to cyber
attack (look it up!) so maybe
the file replacement to happen by
Session Manager after the reboot (and before the process starting).
Regards,
Surya

Out of curiosity, which process hols your file handle? As Phil said,
if it's a badly written service etc, it would be better

if it's a badly written service etc, it would be better to fix the
broken process than to force the installer to perform actions that
aren't needed

process but then it would be an infinite loop.

I could give this a try, but is it not the same as the Installer invoking
Restart Manager to terminate the processes
