Repair gets stuck on /extractlzma

Fri Nov 25, 2022 3:34 pm

Noticed this issue recently w/c can be repro'd even w/ single EXE, LZMA compressed, installer made from the latest AI version 20.1.1
Observations:
  • issue may not happen on the 1st repair, but usually happens on succeeding repairs
  • /extractlzma process shows, in Process Monitor, a repeating SHARING VIOLATION error when extracting the .msi file
  • in Process Explorer, the Process Handles lower pane of the parent process, msiexec.exe, reveals that the .msi file is opened
  • killing the /extractlzma process, makes the repair resume to completion

Hello Albert,

I have tested this and I was indeed able to replicate the described behavior.

I have now forwarded this to our development team and hopefully it will be fixed in a future version of Advanced Installer.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

Best regards,
