Thanks for your response. Incase, if my earlier installation fails and MSISERVER runs for next few minutes (this what i learnt msiserver runs even after installation completion). Which may create a problems if the user re-installs the same MSI. If i'm wrong please correct my understanding _

1. This is a question more suited for wix-users than wix-devs. Or, better yet, it is a Windows Installer question more than a WiX one. 2. The MSISERVER service is used by the entire InstallExecuteSequence sequence and Windows Installer already takes care to deal with two scenarios: a. It ensures
