Now I look closer, I think you're missing something. CreateMute() by itself
isn't sufficient. You have to attempt to get it. The code I've used also has
Classification: Public

I'll put it this way: I don't understand why you're not passing the
string LPCWSTR sczMutexName = LGlobal\\_MSIExecute; into
CreateMutex(). Why the StrAllocFormatted call?
Also it's only locked during the execute sequence, and I don't know
how you're testing it.

querying the service status to see if it's accepting shutdown
commands.

I could be wrong but I thought MSI stopped using the mutex a couple versions
ago.
