           Summary: MSI installation failure causes installer hang...
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: msi
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: toonces282002 at yahoo.com


On a Windows box, if an install fails (say a service fails to start because of
a missing dll), normally MSI would roll back the installation.  Meaning that it
would try as best it can to put things back the way they were before the
install started.

On ReactOS, none of this happens.  The GUI sort of freezes, and no longer
responds in any way to anything.  I can kill msiexec from the task manager, but
that doesn't fix the underlying problem.

I realize that it would probably be hard to fully implement rollback, but I
wanted to make sure that it was on the radar so that it eventually got done.

I don't have a good testcase handy right now, unfortunately..
