the following applications should be closed.......

November 17th, 2009
Above dialog box appears when some applications are running while uninstallation.
I dont want this dialog even if mentioned applications are running.
I dont see any custom action for this. I have encountered this issue before but i killed error causing application in those cases( not recommended).
Is FileInUse control event responsible for this?
If we go to switches, I dont want to use /qb- as it will show cancel button. I guess /passive and /qb! are one and the same. Will /qn suppress this dialog?
Testing
How are you starting the Un-installation - is it via MSIEXEC /I and then choosing Uninstall from the maintenance mode dialog, or are you starting via MSIEXEC /X ??
There is a reason for this message, and uninstalling with verbose logging enabled will confirm whether your hypothesis about FileInUse is correct or not.
If you cannot find a custom action that generates the message then the message originates from the windows installer service, and all I can suggest is that you TEST the uninstall with the fully silent option switches, to check whether the uninstall completes successfully in this mode, or whether the uninstall rolls back due to the issues with locked files, or whatever.
However, double check the uninstallation log as it could still be a custom action, such as a DLL call, which is not obvious.
Incidentally, is this a vendor MSI?
If your issue has been solved, please use the "Mark as Solution" link on the most relevant thread.
Its vendor MSI
and message comes during installation (wrongly posted in previous post). I will get log file (message comes at client side and not on my side.)
As a standard for installation I use msiexec /i <MSI> /qb!.
