That is odd that it didn't stop it on install, I have a sample that
closes notepad.exe, I'll try it with IE.
I think this should stop it running on uninstall:
<Custom Action="WixCloseApplications"
Before="InstallValidate">NO REMOVE</Custom>
There is a post on the list from Bob Arnson that says the minimised
application bug should be fixed this week.

Neil,
I did search the list. I might of tried this before, but went on with
other
trials, and errors.
I don't get an error, it just doesn't close IE. It is not minimized, it
is
just not in focus. I just tried this. On install it didn't close IE,
but
when i went to uninstall, it did close IE.
So there is a bug with it, that will be fixed in this week's build?
Thanks,
Casey
