Hello All,

What kind of Setup was it? If it was a legacy application that uses NON-Embedded MSI's then capturing is ok. However, there might be alot to cleanup with your MSI so that its not trying to write to in-use files. Which is probably why your being prompted to close running apps.
if you are sure that this step (closing applications) is not needed you may try with disabled Restart Manager - MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL=Disable.
This prompt shows up when MSI detects that file is locked by some application.
