Probably better name: help on MSI
May be problem with bad English but I cannot understand from help what I need to do in ISM project to update and re-register “File in use” item – lets say simple ActiveX dll
The second question, how I can be sure (if 1-st question will be solved) that after reboot CopyFileEx happen before this DLL will be loaded from some service (if this case)
Thank ahead
"Files in use" cannot be updated or replaced unless there is a way to unload it from other programmes using it...
If the active X is used only by your prog...cloas it before install begins....all installs ask you to quit any running aplication...
Force Restart the computer if necessary...
Hope this helps...
Thank for viewing, but.
If I can even update OS with MSI it has to be way to update some components.
For example function CopyFileEx can be used (and I believe it use) in XCopyFile function for InstallShield. Or may be some other think - why otherwise the talk about ForseReboot, property that will signal process after reboot and so on?
