This Windows Installer database does not contain definition of Restart Manager Files in Use (MsiRMFilesInUse) dialog to handle Restart Manager on Windows 7 (Table: Dialog). |
|
•
|
This Windows Installer database contains Restart Manager Files in Use (MsiRMFilesInUse) dialog suppressed by property MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL (the current value is [PROPERTY_VALUE]) (Table: Property, Key: MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL). |
Background
The MsiRMFilesInUse dialog can be authored to display a list of processes that are currently running files that need to be overwritten or deleted by the installation. The dialog contains two options to allow end users to specify how to proceed:
|
•
|
Users can choose to have the installation close the applications that are using those files and then attempt to restart the applications after the installation is complete. |
|
•
|
Users can avoid closing the applications. A reboot will be required at the end of the installation. |
If the user selects the first option, a push button control on this dialog can be authored to publish the RMShutdownAndRestart control event, and the Restart Manager can close the applications and restart them at the end of the installation. This can eliminate or reduce the need to restart the computer. The MsiRMFilesInUse dialog is displayed during an installation only if installation is running with full user interface and the MsiRMFilesInUse dialog is present in Dialog table. Additionally, the public property MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL can be used to disable Restart Manager.
Resolution
The following resolutions are available.

The MsiRMFilesInUse dialog should be added to the Dialog table of the Windows Installer database.
