[wix-users] Close application before InstallValidate

[Rob Mensching]

Also, if the target app isn't elevated, you can send your own messages to close the app. It really depends on the app.

Correct me if I am wrong. Isn't that possible using a standard MSI where a dialog (MsiRMFilesInUse) is displayed to the user if there is any running application blocking a file?

I guess, there should be an event raised by the bundle which kind of does the same.
