Opened application during installation

Hi,

I'm updating Livelink from 4.8.1 to 4.8.3 and during the upgrade process, this windows appears :


If I install silently (/qn), the default is "Automatically close application..." and user are losing the desktop since Windows Explorer is killed. Is there a Windows Installer switch to select "Do not close apps" option ?

I found the Properrty RestartManagerOption=CloseRestart.

I change it to RestartManagerOption=Reboot and same thing happen... I guess I will remove the sequence "CheckProcessesRunning"

RestartManager is a Windows Installer 4.5 option, designed to minimise the requirements for restarts and irrelevant to your predicament. My suspicion is that Explorer is restarted because part of the app is a shell extension (if you like, it becomes part of Explorer.

The problem is the explorer won't restart and desktop the is gone..

Removing the CheckProcessesRunning doesn't help either. I still have this message. I will continue my research on this.

Edit : I just realize that is the previous version who pop this message...

it closes windows explorer! Wow.. that's terrible. Can you set the install/uninstall to only run when the user is logged off? What's your deployment tool?

Crappy weather... :( Rainy all weekend.

We are using SCCM. Yeah, its terrible. Because SCCM is running with SYSTEM Account, explorer can't be restarted. But we find a way to execute explorer.exe.

We create a new program that execute explorer.exe and we run it "Only when a user is logged on" and it works!

Have a nice weekend T K

Try RestartManagerOption=1 Instead
