If you search this list you should see posts from me highlighting a few issues (mainly it does close minimised applications) but essentially what you have is correct.
I would have structured it like this: <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="WixCloseApplications" Before="InstallValidate" /> </InstallExecuteSequence> <util:CloseApplication Id="CloseIE " CloseMessage="yes" Target="iexplore.exe " ElevatedCloseMessage="no" RebootPrompt="no" /> I have put it before InstallValidate as you don't really want to close IE unless someone actually wants to go ahead and complete your install (I think your way it will close IE when you start the install). What errors are you getting? (Apparently the issue with closing minimised apps should be fixed in this week's build.)

What I am wanting to do is close every instance of Internet Explorer before installing my toolbar application. The documentation is really thin on this, and I don't even know if I have it correct. Here is the snippet of code I have under the <Product> element: <CloseApplication xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension"; Id="CloseIE" RebootPrompt="no" CloseMessage="yes" Target="iexplore.exe"/> <InstallUISequence> <Custom Action="WixCloseApplications" Before="LaunchConditions" /> </InstallUISequence> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="WixCloseApplications" Before="LaunchConditions" /> </InstallExecuteSequence> Thanks, Casey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
