Cool, cool. I'm really worried about doing "workarounds" in wixstdba since it runs on user's machines for long after we ship a WiX toolset release. The more workarounds we put in it, the harder it will be to maintain.
Plus if thmutil is busted, it'd be good to get it fixed so that anything using it in the future won't have this same problem. -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Cran [mailto:br...@cran.org.uk] Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2014 8:22 AM To: WiX toolset developer mailing list Subject: Re: [WiX-devs] Issue 4114: WixStdba and missing WM_QUIT again The root solution was thought to be using HWND_MESSAGE windows for communication, but that doesn't work because we still load all the theme GUI stuff. I'll go back and continue removing stuff until I can figure out exactly what's causing PostQuitMessage to wait/fail. -- Bruce On 1/23/2014 9:12 AM, Rob Mensching wrote: > It still very much concerns me that we fallback to "workarounds" before we > understand what the issue is.
