wix - How could I prevent the installer to close the application during upgrade -

if upgrade application through installer ui, prompt , inquire whether want close running application.

but if upgrade through command? there ways can prevent closing application?

thanks.

you can avoid reboot @ end of silent install setting reboot property reallysuppress. sample:

msiexec /i mysetup.msi reboot=reallysuppress /qn

custom actions in installexecutesequence override behavior , initiates reboot on own, if msi complying best practice , standards setting reboot reallysuppress should work fine.
