why there is no flag such as : AddPackageByAppInstallerOptions.ForceTargetAppRestart and only AddPackageByAppInstallerOptions.ForceTargetAppShutdown ? that is not nice UX.
I want to programmatically apply updates but the app should restart automatically and not just close, and force user to manually open it. Is there an easy solution ? I don't really want to include another exec to my app just to start the app after it closes it too much overhead for such simple thing.
Thanks,
Karol
