[WiX-users] CloseApplication

[John L. <joh...@ki...>]

 Hi, i'm trying to understand the CloseApplication functionality of wix.

 I'm trying to detect if an app (Internet Explorer) is running and ask the 
user if they want to restart it (as my installer is for a plugin for IE).

 I can use CloseApplication to set a property and use this to alter the UI 
sequence asking the user if they want IE to be restarted. But i'm unsure how
 to actually use it to close IE. I'm guessing it is through the use of a 
custom action, but i'm not sure where to go from here.

Additionally while checking this, i've realised that although i can set the 
property, it is set before the UI part runs and therefore i can't reference 
it in my dialogs - how can i bump this up the install sequence?

 any suggestions

 thanks

 JOHN
