Yes, practically every single time. And, if I download a wepm
file, and run it directly off from the Explorer window, the app
installs trouble-free. Only when using the appget, I am running
into this silly problem. Puzzles me, since nobody else seem to
have this trouble, and still it shows up both on my old XP
system, and a rather newly installed Win8 computer. Thought I
could have missed out on some setting, or there could have been a
messy system on my old installation, but with an all clean
installation of WE, this should not be an issue either.

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,

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.
