Re: [WiX-users] Known Issues why msiexec.exe goes Zombie for MSI 4.5

2011-10-04 Thread Wilson, Phil 
During an installation there may be more than those two. New ones may be fired 
up to host custom actions. I agree, it all sounds normal to me.

That may be ordinary behaviour you are seeing. There are 2 msiexec processes
associated with an installation - the client-side exe and the server-side
service process. After the msiexec service has been used for something
(installation, repair, etc), it persists for a while (10 minutes maybe ?) in
case it is needed again. You can probably put the chainsaw back in the shed
:)

Is there any list of know issues with Windows Installer 4.5/5.0?
Occasionally, I see zombie msiexec.exe processes.  This occurs even on a
successful installer verbose log. It's not common, and it appears to be
random.  Killing the msiexec.exe zombies usually works.  Rebooting always
works.  Occurs like maybe once a week.  During testing.
