Apps should integrate with Restart Manager to get automatic restart, and they get an oppurtunity to save state and restart where they left off.

If yes, will show a message box: The following applications should be lcosed before continuing the install: ... And let user choose (1) Automatically close applications and attempt to restart them after setup is complete. (2) Do not close applications. (A reboot will be required) Our product is depends on another windows service, but I don't want to show this dialog. Of course I can schedule an action to close the application before installvalidation, but I do not want to do this, because then I need to handle the restart for various cases (cancel before/after installinitialize, install success/fail etc). Is there any way that we don't show the dialog, but force to use option (1)?
