Rex, did you change anything? My (normally not so perfect) installer has been perfect from day one of the alpha until today.

Upgrading to 45, I was here for about 10 minutes. This is before any user input.

msiexec and updater were running but apparently idle. The two buttons were greyed and the "X" didn't work. I could minimize it but after doing so I couldn't restore it. After two tries at clicking the taskbar-thumbnail's "X", updater showed in the tray with a bubble saying the installation was incomplete. An attempt at "OPTION /U" gave a similar response. Yet another attempt at "OPTION /U" and (without a download) it installed.

Upgrading to 46 was similar but resulted in a crash.

I have changed absolutely nothing in the installer for weeks (other than updating the build number). The crash is inside Windows Installer; nothing I can do about that.

Did it work when you ran it again?
I had a tough time killing everything. But after that I fired up v17 (it still worked) and did "OPTION /U" ... it went right to the install (no download) and was successful.
