What is the "MCI command handling window" application.

[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,

-Paul Randall

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.
