Hi,

I have used VS2005 to create a .msi package for my software. The problem though is that when I uninstall the software either through "Add/Remove Programs" or through running the uninstaller again, the uninstaller will remove all of the files but leave the executable running.

Is there anyway to have the Installation project stop the executable, both when the application is in window form and in the system tray?

Thanks,
Adam

I found the fix on another forum...

I created a FileWatcher to watch when the .exe was getting deleted. When it did, I called Application.Exit() and that worked great!

I'm thinking about doing the same, but the .exe doesn't seem to be deleted on uninstall? (Probably because it's running?)
