Internal MSIEXEC.EXE not Informational
Internal MSIEXEC.EXE not Informational |
The inbuilt "I'm busy" dialog is pathetic and doesn't help any by not
saying what its doing or even to what product and version.
Like the "Cancel doesn't Cancel (advertised repair)"
"usability bug", this "feature" makes it very difficult for our end
users and the fact after all this that the event log messages
contains even more less useful information to them doesn't help any.
If a repair is being invoked, for what and why? If you think someone
won't want to see this then make a sorely missing Windows configuration
option that allows you to flag users as beginners, experts etc and let
the MSI flag whether or not to display it.
