I think you can be in the non-elevated portion of the process multiple times - the mutex only protects the execute sequence, where the system is being modified.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to prevent the same MSI file to be executed more than once at the same time? I get reports that people managed to have our installer open several times at the same time by accidentally clicking on the MSI file again while the same installer was already open. I seem to recall that is normally not possible due to the Microsoft installer MUTEX but somehow that seems to be missing. I'm using Wix 3.6, any suggestions? -- http://monochrome.me.uk/blog/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
