Re: Cancel install
Thanks, Friedrich. I think that will do it. When is the next
Maintenance build due? I've got the support manager leaning on me
pretty heavily, refusing to use the installer until this is fixed. If
it's going to be long, then I may have to create something else in the
interim.

The next build is scheduled for February 15, 2019. What's your deadline?

Re: Cancel install
I think I can write a little cmd file from the installer, then execute
that without waiting. It can scan for the existence of the process,
looping until it's done, then delete those files, and finally itself.
Something like this:
@echo off
:Top
tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq installer.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N
"installer.exe">NUL
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" goto Top
delete InstallingSoon!
delete InstallingNow!
I'm not sure how far back "tasklist" is support, though, and I need to
determine the name of my installer EXE from within that EXE. I'm not
sure yet how to do that.
I would much rather use Friedrich's new event, so I'm hoping it will
be released soon.

If your deadline is before Friday, February 15 then I can compile and send
you a Build 6156 pre-release.

Re: Cancel install
If you could, please do. They're quite eager to get this out the door.
(They first mentioned the related symptom back in December, and it
wasn't until yesterday that we happened upon the cause.)

Absolutely no problem. I'll send you the download link within the next 15
hours. I have tested tons of scripts and the new event seems to work as
expected.
Thanks for bringing this very useful feature back to my attention.

Re: Cancel install
Thank-you, Friedrich. I don't generally like to be a "squeeky wheel",
but I guess sometimes that's helpful. ;)

I sent the pre-release download link one minute ago.
Please let me know if this works for you.
