I have an install package that I am working on. I created an application
to seek out and kill
any currently running instances of the application (or anything that
might be using it). That
application works perfectly. Unfortunately the install has to run
silently (no interface
what so ever beyond the default progress bar) because the customer is
using SMS to install
and popups and reboots cause SMS to think the install failed. Because it
has to run silently,
and MUST run before any files are copied to the target machine, I have
converted my little
killer app to a dll (to avoid having the cmd window popup). No problem
there. It properly
executes the dll at the proper time. Then I run into trouble. I seem to
be getting error code
1603 back (in the /l*v log file). The description of that error at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/msi/set
up/windows_installer_error_messages.asp
is:
The file [2][3] is being held in use by the following process: Name:
[4], Id: [5], Window Title: '[6]'.
The first problem: what the HECK are 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6?
The Second problem: Why the heck is it talking about something being in
use?
The dll is being included via a binary element:
<Binary Id="KioskKiller.dll"
SourceFile="C:\trials\KioskKiller\KioskKillerDll\Debug\KioskKillerDll.dl
l" />
The CustomAction element is:
<CustomAction Id="InstKillKioskCmdLine" DllEntry="KioskKillerMain"
BinaryKey="KioskKiller.dll"
Execute="immediate" Return="check" />
The Custom element (in the InstallExecuteSequence) is:
<Custom Action="InstKillKioskCmdLine" Before="LaunchConditions">NOT
Installed</Custom>
So, I'm missing something. I'm not trying to execute anything, that I am
aware of, that is already on
the machine (other than something INSIDE the msi file).
The log file at that point contains:
