I'm also unable to duplicate this behavior. Does it happen every time
you install an app with AppGet? What if you install an app manually by
downloading first from App Central? I will add your suggestion of
downloading multiple apps at once to the wish list.
Thanks,
Aaron

This issue, has been going on for a little while. Yet, I thought it
was due to an older installation of WE, with several upgrades
performed, and thereby something had got messed up.
Now, a little more than a week ago, I finally received the CD for
installing WE8.2. Hence, I decided to go from the very scratch. I
uninstalled all my old WE version, even used the Emergency remover,
and gave the system a full cleanup, and vacuumed the registry just to
make sure as clean an environment as possible. Then installed a fresh
WE8.2, directly off the CD.
Everything went OK, and I then let the system perform an upgrade to
any of the apps installed. Then I wanted to install some extra apps,
that I find useful.
I use the AppGet feature, and find my app of interest. Then press
Enter, and get the installation screen. Here, I hit the Install
button, and if necessary confirm my accept of the license agreement.
Then, WE claims that the app has been installed, and I sure can see
the effect of the app in function. Yet, the installation screen for
the app, keeps open. Presseing Escape, to close it, only result in the
installation screen opening a second copy of itself. And When
Alt-Tabbing, I can reach the AppGet dialog. Here, I can find the Close
button, but pressing space or Enter on that button, performs
absolutely nothing. The only way to close down the whole app
installation set of dialogs, is to shut down WE, and restart it.
Same behavior displays on both my XP machine, and the Windows8 machine
I am trying to learn to use. What could possibly be going on? Is this
due to a bug in the AppGet app? If so, it has been there for a little
while, approximately as long as the app has been encrypted. My WE is
set to accept and run any apps, so I thought there would be no
security issue blocking things, and they surely get installed and
activated. Only the AppGet and installation dialogs won't let
themselves close.
In the same token, GW, could there please have been a way in the
AppGet, to mark several apps for simultaneous installation. When a
user knows exactly which apps he wants to install, I would have liked
to check all the apps of interest, and then hit the install button,
and all the downloading and installation would get started.
