Our application installs a Microsoft Exchange agent (Exchange 2007, Windows Server 2008). The dll gets loaded by the Exchange Transport Service. I've added a ServiceControl element to stop and start the service which seems to work OK. The problem is that when the application is being uninstalled I get a dialog telling me that a reboot will be required. If I OK this, the uninstall functions correctly without the reboot (as by the time the files are uninstalled the service has been stopped).
I believe that the problem is due to the way that the Exchange service is implemented. The service executable is called MSExchangeTransport.exe which then uses a process called EdgeTransport.exe to host our dll. Because the dll is not being hosted directly by the service, Restart Manager is not correctly recognizing that there is not a problem. This is the contents of the uninstall log pertaining to the reboot request: - MSI (s) (78:0C) [18:28:22:904]: RESTART MANAGER: Did detect that a critical application holds file[s] in use, so a reboot will be necessary. MSI (s) (78:0C) [18:28:22:904]: Note: 1: 1610 MSI (s) (78:0C) [18:29:08:864]: RESTART MANAGER: The user chose to go on with the installation, although a reboot will be required. How can I handle this situation?
