QUESTION

WiX: How to restart Windows Explorer to install / uninstall a shell extension

Asked 2022-Mar-02 at 14:16

I am trying to write a WiX installer that includes a managed icon shell extension (using SharpShell). I've finally figured out how to register it via Wix (I couldn't get the SharpShell registration manager to work whenn called via WiX).

During installation, the following dialog appears:

If I select "Ignore", the icon shell extension is successfully installed and Window Explorer picks up the change immediately. I'm not sure which files that its detecting as "In Use".

During uninstall, the following dialog appears:

If you select the "Automatically close and attempt to restart" option, it closes Windows Explorer, but it does not restart at the end of the installation. I have to manually restart it via task manager.

The best solution that seemed to work and did not display any unwanted dialogs was to remove the MSIRMSHUTDOWN and MSIDISABLERMRESTART properties and set the following property:

C# - How to trigger the App in open with context menu properly

Asked 2020-Dec-07 at 07:51

I need to display the Windows native context menu of Open with in my application and I already can show it. However, I encountered a problem is I can't execute any Apps (Photos/Paint/...) in Open with submenu properly.

For example, I press right click on a jpg image and hover cursor to open with, then choose Paint to open it, but nothing happen (no exeception, error) after clicking Paint (There is no Paint process in Task Manager).

The screenshot below can reveals my problem precisely, Apps in red block can't be execute properly (Neither native nor third-party applications can be executed). But Search the Microsoft Store and Choose another app can work well.

I found that @yberk 's post also mentioned this problem, but he didn't find any solution

I have read lots of documents and examples, but still can't figure out the problem.

Finally, I found the reason. We need put the [STAThread] on the entry point.

See windows document STAThread

This attribute must be present on the entry point of any application that uses Windows Forms; if it is omitted, the Windows components might not work correctly. If the attribute is not present, the application uses the multithreaded apartment model, which is not supported for Windows Forms.
