I copied Notepad.exe to a folder shared with Sample.wxs and changed
its name to FoobarAppl10.exe. Then I compiled. I ran the resulting
installer and fired up the app from the desktop shortcut. Without
closing the app, I started the uninstall. When the uninstall warned
me that I should shut down the application, I clicked Ignore. The
uninstall proceeded, but did not prompt for a reboot. I rebooted
anyway and found that FoobarAppl10.exe was still on the disk.
On my machine, leaving Notepad open causes the built-in FilesInUse
dialog to be displayed. When I hit Ignore, the uninstall continues. MSI
moves the .exe into its private Config.MSI directory. There's a code
1903 in the log indicating that a reboot is required but because the
file was moved, there isn't a good enough reason to force a reboot.
I can't reproduce the behavior you get. I was running on XP. Which OS
are you testing on?
