Retry on FilesInUse dialog doesn't re-test that files are closed
In an InstallScript MSI project, when I run the installer while files are in use the FilesInUse dialog appears properly. However, if I simply click "Retry" without closing the in-use application, the FilesInUse dialog closes and the installer continues as if the "Ignore" button was clicked. It's not re-checking that the files have been closed and returning to the FilesInUse dialog. Can anyone tell me what's wrong?
Thanks!
Thanks!

The return values from the SdFilesInUse dialog are supposed to be 4 for Retry, 5 for Ignore, and 9 for Exit/Cancel. For some unknown reason I'm getting 1 for Retry and 2 for Exit/Cancel. (I disabled the Ignore button so I don't care about that return value.) I simply changed the OnFilesInUse event to convert the return codes to the expected values.
