The command-line installer is spelled with lower-case "i" and will not be affected by kill command.

The issue with calling system("killall -9 Installer”) is that if other installers are running simultaneously, those will be killed also. -Lora On Aug 19, 2019, at 4:36 PM, Vachik Hovhannisyan <vachooho@yahoo.com> wrote: Hi Lora, As I pointed out in my previous posts, Installer plugins are running outside of the Installer process so all the ext()/NSApp.terminate/etc calls are dealing with another process hosting the plugin, not Installer itself. You still can use brute force kill command though system("killall -9 Installer"); CheersV.

In this alert, I have a button which, when clicked, should exit the installer. This works fine on OSes prior to Catalina, but on Catalina, the installer hangs when clicking on this button. To exit the installer, I have tried the following six alternatives:             exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);             exit(EXIT_FAILURE);             [[NSApplication sharedApplication] terminate:nil];             [[NSApplication sharedApplication] terminate:self];             [NSApp terminate:self];             [NSApp terminate:nil]; However, they all result in a hang (again, only on Catalina).
