active program

[NewsArchive]

hey,

we have a problem with active program and the setup.

we install 1 file - this file is used by Windows - at the end of the
installation come the dialog - "Please restart Windows...."

After the restart file no longer exists! Neither the new or the old one!

Wo liegt das Problem !?

(Windows 7 Pro 64bit)

That means the installer detected an locked ("in-use") file and so it has to
be replaced at the next system startup. Windows writes this action to the
Registry. IMO, Windows was unable to find the new (temporary) file that
replaces the old one at startup and so Windows removed it.

What you can do to debug this is to not reboot after you see the restart
message. Then check the PendingFileRenameOperations registry key to see
where the temporary (new) file is located and try to find out why it is not
available at system startup.

Hope this helps.

BTW, the startup process is not controlled by SetupBuilder. Windows handles
all the actions after the system reboot.

Here is how the replace in-use file process works in Windows:
