My application (developed using C#.net) is open now i uninstall, InstallShield gives message stating the application is already open and whether really want to close the application. Selection 'Ignore' continues uninstall. Some files and the exe of the application are not closed. How to close them by installshield on uninstall. Or there are some properties I have to set. I know adding a custom action at uninstall i can kill the process, but shouldn't installshield do it?

If your goal is to restart the open applications and not honor the "Ignore" selection, you might consider setting the "REBOOT" property to "Force". That will ask that user to restart the system, thus achieving your desired result.
