    <p>The article you linked to says Restart Manager shuts down the running processes to mitigate reboot, and it should start the process after setup is complete. It also mentions which properties control the interaction with Restart Manager:</p> <p><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa370380.aspx" rel="noreferrer"><strong><code>MSIRMSHUTDOWN</code></strong></a> when set to <code>2</code>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Processes or services that are currently using files affected by the update are shut down only if they have all been registered for a restart. If any process or service has not been registered for a restart, then no processes or services are shut down.</p> </blockquote> <p>Ensure <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa370089.aspx" rel="noreferrer"><code>MSIDISABLERMRESTART</code></a> has value of <code>0</code>. In this case Restart Manager will restart all the processes and services it shut down.</p> <p>See also <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa370377.aspx" rel="noreferrer"><code>MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL</code></a></p> <hr> <p>If you disable shutting down of running processes, the installation <em>would not fail</em>: it would succeed and Windows Installer will initiate system restart to complete the update. You can use <code>/norestart</code> option to suppress reboot. Yet it is <em>recommended</em> to reboot as soon as possible because the system is not in a consistent state.</p> <p>Thus it's better to teach your process to communicate with Restart Manager so that reboot is mitigated.</p>

    1. COAlexey thanx for your response... What I really can't understand is why the same MSI (or MSI created using WIX?) works in two really different flavours when I run it from commandline (using same /quiet /norestart flags)... 1. Msi with a UI (Mondo or anything else) --> installation fails, no process is killed 2. Msi with no UI --> installation succeed and processes are killed In my scenario if the application is running it's absolutely inacceptable that the MSI could try to change the system.

    2. COHow does installation fail when it's run with UI? And what buttons do you click in the UI? In non-UI mode, its behavior seems to be correct, I don't have much experience with Restart Manager. Try to set `MSIRMSHUTDOWN` to `2`, and `MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL` to `Disable` or `DisableShutdown`. In non-UI you can't display any messages to user where you can explain why the installation failed.

    3. COSorry for this delay... I'll try to clarify. MSI "A" created using Wix with Mondo UI; MSI "B" created using Wix, but with no UI. Both started from commandline whit "/quiet /norestart" args. Under the same conditions (a file is locked) "A" fails while "B" succeed and kills running processes. unfortunately your solution doesn't work...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
