What version of WiX are you using? I seem to remember this problem from a while back, and I thought a fix was proposed.

I've compiled the bootstrapper and added some debug logging, it looks as though it gets as far as PostQuitMessage: [02E4:0B48][2014-09-24T10:35:33]i399: Apply complete, result: 0x0, restart: None, ba requested restart: No [02E4:09C0][2014-09-24T10:35:33]i000: process message id 8068, wParam=0, lParam=d [02E4:09C0][2014-09-24T10:35:33]i000: WndProc process message id 8068, wParam=0, lParam=d [02E4:09C0][2014-09-24T10:35:33]i000: State change to d [02E4:09C0][2014-09-24T10:35:33]i000: Attempting quiet exit via WM_CLOSE post to 001A00C2 [02E4:09C0][2014-09-24T10:35:33]i000: process message id 10, wParam=0, lParam=0 [02E4:09C0][2014-09-24T10:35:33]i000: WndProc process message id 10, wParam=0, lParam=0 [02E4:09C0][2014-09-24T10:35:33]i000: CWixStandardBootstrapperApplication::WM_CLOSE [02E4:09C0][2014-09-24T10:35:33]i000: WndProc process message id 2, wParam=0, lParam=0 [02E4:09C0][2014-09-24T10:35:33]i000: CWixStandardBootstrapperApplication::WM_DESTROY -- calling PostQuitMessage [02E4:09C0][2014-09-24T10:35:33]i000: WndProc process message id 82, wParam=0, lParam=0 this is where it stops with the installer running, but stuck in the GetMessage call (verified with windbg). I'm not really sure what's affecting the behaviour of GetMessage -- AFAICT it ought to wake up and generate a WM_QUIT like normal. Calling PostQuitMessage multiple times doesn't help, but posting another message just before the PQM call does, e.g.: case WM_DESTROY: BalLog(BOOTSTRAPPER_LOG_LEVEL_STANDARD, "CWixStandardBootstrapperApplication::WM_DESTROY -- calling PostQuitMessage"); // saves the day ... ::PostMessage(NULL, WM_USER, 0, 0); ::PostQuitMessage(0); break; generates similar output to the above but it actually quits: [0E50:0D60][2014-09-24T10:48:25]i000: Attempting quiet exit via WM_CLOSE post to 001B00C2 [0E50:0D60][2014-09-24T10:48:25]i000: process message id 10, wParam=0, lParam=0 [0E50:0D60][2014-09-24T10:48:25]i000: WndProc process message id 10, wParam=0, lParam=0 [0E50:0D60][2014-09-24T10:48:25]i000: CWixStandardBootstrapperApplication::WM_CLOSE [0E50:0D60][2014-09-24T10:48:25]i000: WndProc process message id 2, wParam=0, lParam=0 [0E50:0D60][2014-09-24T10:48:25]i000: CWixStandardBootstrapperApplication::WM_DESTROY -- calling PostQuitMessage [0E50:0D60][2014-09-24T10:48:25]i000: WndProc process message id 82, wParam=0, lParam=0 [0E50:0D60][2014-09-24T10:48:25]i000: process message id 400, wParam=0, lParam=0 [0E50:0D60][2014-09-24T10:48:25]i000: Exit message loop [0E50:00D4][2014-09-24T10:48:25]i500: Shutting down, exit code: 0x0 All very odd, does anybody have any ideas where I could look next?
