This FileInUse Ddialog only popup for me in vista, i want to remove it because at the end of my installation and uninstallation im prompting a reboot dialog.

I have read that in the Dialog Editor, Dialog table, setting the Attributes value of FilesInUse and MsiRMFilesInUse to 0, will make the dialog not to display.

is this true? i know that the attribute values are dialog stylebits, but i dont see any value of 0 in the msdn. and why is it that before i change it to 0 the value is 19.

Vista has an improved restart maager which also detects services that are locking files. On previous Windows versions servcies were not detected.

I am having this same issue in Vista only as well.

Is there a safe way around it or is this expected behavior with the new operating system?

Thanks,
Mike

It's expected behaviour.

have you tried to stop the application/service that uses the file? I had the same problem and got it resolved by a custom action that shuts down the application.
