[wix-users] MSIExec hangs

[Walter Dexter]

Do you have a verbose log of the runs when this happens?

What is going on right before the "no longer responding"?

Does that 7D91DEA... match any of the GUIDs in your installer? Or anything
in the system's registry?

I doubt your MSI problem is generically related to PR7, I do
support/development for somewhere around 10K of them (we don't seem to
know) that I've run multiple versions of 3 - 8 different WiX MSIs for
probably 5 years now.
