I've also noticed this problem, on WinXP (but not Win95). I use a free installer (Inno Setup, which is quite nice and simple IMHO) to install my conduit and I noticed the same hangup as you described, so it's not necessarily an InstallShield problem. No ideas on how to fix it, though...

I'm not up on all of the technical issues (I work on the Palm side, not on the installation process), but I was just briefed on this problem... My understanding is that Windows imposes limits on how/what processes can be instantiated during uninstall. Our particular combination of a VB conduit using the latest version of InstallShield does not work on Windows 2000. We've consulted with InstallShield quite a bit and concluded that there is no know solution other than to write a C++ conduit or notify users to restart HotSync Manager on their own. Oddly, this was not a problem with the last version of InstallShield, apparently because they managed processes differently then. Also, I'm not sure if this is a problem with different installation programs and/or OS's.

Anyone experience this problem before? If I go and close HotSync afterwards, it seems to be OK again ... hmm, the light is comming on ... Perhaps the Control Panel is seeing HotSync as a child process of the uninstaller because it is stopped and relaunched the the Palm Conduit Installer, and is still waiting for it to finish. Any ideas?
