Aug 03, 2019 I've been trying to install a few things, and they all stop because of an 'installation in progress'. I've been through a few threads, and I was lead to Windows Installer, but whenever I try to cancel it, it just won't go away, and the Startup Type is greyed out when I try to disable it.
But some cases, this popup won't show up and installation continues.
I am seeing this problem, if i click CANCEL button at the end of first phase only. status message is 'Coping new files'.
'Coping new files' is deferred action. How come this message is showing in first phase?

Are you sure it's actually running the 'Copying new files' action, or is it an action after that which doesn't post any progress updates? If it's a custom action, be careful that it does one of two things:
![]()
If the action never calls MsiProcessMessage, then Windows Installer will handle cancel for the action, but cannot cancel it in the middle of the action. If the action calls MsiProcessMessage (with certain values for Michael UrmanMichael Urman
eMessageType ), then Windows Installer assumes that the action will process the cancel, and the action must return ERROR_INSTALL_USEREXIT or Windows Installer gets confused.

The execute sequence of an MSI installation process runs in two phases:

For example, the installation can no longer be canceled when commit actions start executing.
