[wix-users] bundle and IBootstrapperBAFunction to close app

[Hoover, Jacob]

I assume your MSI is using util:CloseApplication to close out the exe when it runs...

But if it is a dependency for your app, then how could your app be running if it isn't installed?  I do believe that the VC runtime would go to SXS, so there shouldn't be any blocker that would prevent it from installing even if your app is running.

What behavior or error are you trying to prevent?

Subject: [wix-users] bundle and IBootstrapperBAFunction to close app

I have a bundle and I'm already using IBootstrapperBAFunction to prolong the display of a startup screen.



The bundle installs 3 packages, .NET, C++ runtime and our main app.



The main app already has some custom actions to close down when the msi for the app runs.



However the issue is that the app needs to be closed before attempting to run the C++ install (Microsoft exe)



What is the best way to close our app at before running the c++ install?



Can this be done in IBootstrapperBAFunction::OnPlan?



Thanks,
