A small number of workstations reboot without any prompts. The other workstations get the warning "Close all Office applications before install starts". Then all is good. So our System Center SCCM guys, are concerned about distributing the Office Add-In.
I returned to the "Deploying Office Extensions" documentation and found this text...
You create a regular .MSI installer to install per-user and per-machine Office extensions. To update your Office extension, you uninstall its current version and install the new one.
Is it a requirement to "Uninstall" then "Install"? Do you advise against letting the MSI do the in place upgrade? |

Hello Mark,

No, we don't. As to getting that prompt, we suppose you have DisplayAlerts=false on the add-in module. Anyway, it looks like you get that prompt from the MSI system itself: it finds out the files locked and informs you about this.

I don't know. I can guess one day something went wrong.
