[wix-users] What's util:CloseApplication's Property attribute for?

[sampat magi]

If u could see the CA that got added to the msi executetable (UI/Execute) ,

the property may contain some value, indicating that, the appln is still
running by the way, didnt get closed, so that u can make use of this
property in required phases, like launch conditions, component condition,
the component that requires the appln to be closed, like, while installing
vsix, to take the effect, VS must be closed.

Sampat
