[PATCH] DO_NOT_LAUNCH parameter was ignored by MSI, should work now

[PATCH] DO_NOT_LAUNCH parameter was ignored by MSI, should work now

[Arjen Brouwer]

From: Arjen Brouwer <arjen@ag5.nl>


The `DO_NO_LAUNCH` parameter did not actually work. After running the installer with the DO_NO_LAUNCH parameter, the UI still showed up afterwards and the MSI log had the following entry:

```
MSI (c) (28:08) [14:43:17:966]: Ignoring disallowed property DO_NOT_LAUNCH
```

By explicitly defining the DO_NOT_LAUNCH property and making it secure, solved the problem.

Hi Arjen,

I was not able to reproduce the problem your patch was supposed to solve.

Running:
msiexec /i https://download.wireguard.com/windows-client/wireguard-amd64-0.0.38.msi /l* setup.log DO_NOT_LAUNCH=1
did not launch the WireGuard after setup was complete. Screencast here: https://1drv.ms/v/s!AsRKV9itoeUTi0Y-LT895Ynvh0da

Running the same command in elevated prompt neither. Screen cast here: https://1drv.ms/v/s!AsRKV9itoeUTi0cEkCG_n2FEX1WA

When adding /qn to completely silence the MSI progress neither. Screen cast here: https://1drv.ms/v/s!AsRKV9itoeUTi0izY000CEIE4axC

So, how were you setting the `DO_NOT_LAUNCH` property in the first place?

Regards,
Simon
