So I tried removing the 'wait for costing to complete' dialog from one of our installers to test it out. This morning I have a crash report that msiexec crashed in CostAllComponentsWorkerThread. Google, Bing and MSDN return zero results when I search for it. Does anyone know anything about this? I think plowing forward without waiting for costing to complete might not be safe.
