  • What `uninstall.exe` are you talking about? InstallShield 2009 only creates setup.exe files (unless renamed), although they should handle both installation and uninstallation in either Basic MSI projects or InstallScript projects. – Michael Urman Nov 11 '10 at 15:08

Here are some possible solutions:

  1. Schedule FilesInUse dialog to be shown during uninstall

  2. Create a custom action that will be executed only during the uninstall process and kill your application if it's already running.

  3. For Windows Vista and upper versions one can use Restart Manager to solve this problem.
