Windows Installer doesn't close in Task Management

[JGabrielF]

Hi people, all fine?

Well, I have a small problem (I believe) and a bit of a beginner too.
I created an "EXE setup with resources next to it", added everything I needed:

- Files and Folders
- Shortcuts
- Install Parameters
- Prerequisites (DirectX / vredits downloader via URL)
- Custom Theme
- Custom Dialogs (Only edited the Dialogs)
- Custom Actions to play Music in Setup
- Builds

My problem isn't the creation of the Setup or the Installation part of it, everything is working.
- But the problem is that the Windows Installer after installing my Setup doesn't close in the Task Manager.

Is there anything I can do about this? or is it normal?
Remembering that I have a Setup .EXE

Hello Gabriel and welcome to our forums,

All is well, thank you!

My problem isn't the creation of the Setup or the Installation part of it, everything is working.
- But the problem is that the Windows Installer after installing my Setup doesn't close in the Task Manager.

I think msiexec.exe, as a process, is always running on the machine. Here's a screenshot from task manager on a VM:

If you're talking about a different msiexec process, then perhaps that might be an issue.

I've tried testing this, but was unable to reproduce the described behavior on my end. If possible, do you think you can create a sample project that reproduces this and forward that to me by email at support at advancedinstaller dot com?

Best regards,
Catalin
