Re: Files in Use & Reboot prompt when accessing files
Hi Catalin,
Thank you for your response.
I did read this thread before posting mine, but for some reason unknown to me, even when I save the AI_SERVICE_STATE property value to another property, it maintains the status of the first service detected.

Re: Files in Use & Reboot prompt when accessing files
You are right, it's not the expected value. But why?What I would do here to further investigate it, is place a "MessageBox" custom action after the second "DetectService" custom action to see what value the AI_SERVICE_STATE property holds. Perhaps it's not the expected value.

Re: Files in Use & Reboot prompt when accessing files
Thank you, Catalin, it is quite clear that one of your services is keeping the files you are trying to copy in use and therefore the custom action fails. Well, first of all, the custom action just reads the files, so even the running service doesn't keep them in use. I can copy the files from this f...

Files in Use & Reboot prompt when accessing files
We've got an application that installs 2 services. I've recently tried to add a step in the upgrade process that manually backs up parts of the application folder, suffixing it with the previous version numbers. No matter what I do or where I place the "Copy Folder" custom action (which wa...

Re: Bug in Multiline strings in custom actions
Thank you, Catalin.
At the moment, I have worked around this issue by using a VBS script instead of a PowerShell one. reads multiline strings and I can replace \r\n characters with something else, then process this data using PowerShell.

Bug in Multiline strings in custom actions
It looks like PowerShell functions AI_GetMsiProperty and AI_SetMsiProperty do not support multiline properties. It is possible to create a multiline Edit field and it is possible to edit a multiline text there. However, whenever I try to use a PowerShell custom action, say, to parse an XML from that...
