What is the "MCI command handling window" application.

[Guest Paul Randall]

I'm trying to install the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools on my WXP

SP2 system. After agreeing to terms and allowing the default installation

destination, I get a message saying: Setup has detected that you are running

the "MCI command handling window" application. Setup requires that this

application is closed. Please close the application and run setup again.

 

I do have a lot of windows open, but I don't recognize any of them as being

the "MCI command handling window"

 

I'd like assistance in identifying this application on my system so I can

close it.

 

Thanks,

I found the problem. I had a Help & Support window open. When I closed it,

the resource kit installed fine. I tested and reproduced the problem by

opening a Help & support window and attempting to reinstall the resource

kit. It failed with the same MCI message. On closing the Help & Support

window, a reinstall of the resource kit succeeded.
