Re: [WiX-users] terminate/stop/close Application when installing

[Peter S. <psh...@sd...>]

Util:CloseApplication is the Wix way to do it. I've provided an example on
this thread
 
http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/CloseApplicatio
n-td6885610.html#none

Also, you can document the requirement or put it in a bootstrapper/chainer.

Subject: [WiX-users] terminate/stop/close Application when installing

Good afternoon Team, trust everyone is well.

whats the best way to terminate an application before installing it?

We have an application which we rollout to thousands of machines, sometimes
the application is still open on the machine while we do this rollout
therefore the rollout does not occur on that machine. So what we want to do
is terminate/stop/close current application so that we may carry on
installing it.

the ideal solution would be to pop up an alert box advising the user that the
application will be closed in 10 seconds, after 10 seconds then we
terminate/stop/close the application and carry on with install (This would be
nice, but first priority is just to
terminate/stop/close)


thanks in advance for your kind assistance,
