Dear support,
I recognized the following behaviour. If an installtion was aborted for whatever reason, a task scheduler job triggered at user logon is registered that opens the MSI installer.
Is that a desired behavour and is it changeable?
Best regards,
Angelo

Hello Angelo,
This is indeed the expected behavior and I'm afraid it is not changeable.
This is done for scenarios where the setup requires a restart to be done. The scheduled task is created so the setup can resume after the restart.

The schedule task is run as admin. And the installer run by that task gets stuck for some reason. Normal user can't get rid of it.
I have a new installer that contains the fix to resolve the stuck issue. My question is "can running the new installer as admin delete the scheduled task automatically?"

Hi and welcome to our forums,
I am afraid the only way the new installer can delete the existing scheduled task is to create your own custom action code to remove the related scheduled task.
You can create a small script (BAT, PS1, etc) code to remove the related task and include it in "Custom Actions" page of your setup project.
Otherwise you will have to manually remove the related task from target machine.
All the best,
Daniel
