A) What exactly does "installing a new version of my application" mean? Is it a patch, a major upgrade, an update by reinstalling the new MSI file?
B) It's not clear to me why the application (apparently randomly) prompts to save information. We can assume it's closing down, but if the install really has no UI then there'll be no FilesInUse dialog to prompt to close the program, so why is it closing down? You have code in the install to tell it to shutdown? It's integrated with Restart Manager? C) I assume you're saying the app crashes because some files are no longer relevant for some reason, but knowing exactly why it crashes could help diagnose incompatible Dlls or something.

When installing a new version of my application while it is running the following occurs: 1. Start application. 2. Install new version from WIX MSI in quiet mode (No UI). 3. Application prompts to save unsaved information. 4. WIX MSI ignores the fact the application is not closed and continues uninstalling the old version and installing the new version. 5. The still running application crashes badly. How can I get WIX to abandon the installation if the application does not close? Kind Regards, Rehan Saeed (London) x8509 This email is confidential.
