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 ?

How did you solve this after all? I have the same issue with OpenText Enterprise Connect Framework. I deleted the CheckProcessesRunning, but this did not solve the problem. - Ent€r 10 years ago

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
If you want a good brew, dieuduciel dot com :)
