WiX / MSI: How to update an registered shell extension on Windows XP -


i have application registers windows explorer shell extension.

the application's installer developed using wix.

i remove old product before install new:

removeexistingproducts before="installinitialize"

the problem fails on windows xp. not suprising extension in use windows explorer. of course happens quite windows explorer has no default window, files-in-use dialog not show well.

so big question: what's best way update windows explorer shell extensions using wix?

is there better solution forcereboot?

an idea: wrote nsis installer while ago, solved similiar problem renaming old extension. that's not possible wix, it?

note: i'm asking windows xp, on vista or above restart manager job.

schedule removeexistingproducts before installfinalize, , installexecute action before removeexistingproducts. not more efficient, able replace file (if not hard locked) , schedule old file deletion upon reboot, or schedule new file copy on old after reboot (both using pendingfilerename).
