When i click 2 times on setup.exe after some interval, it launches 2 installations for the same product and i can go through till half of the both installations ( not tried after).

Not sure what has been changed but till last month, it was not possible. If one setup.exe is running, other setup.exe will not run.

Could you please give me the direction what could have been changed in the installation? I am using basic msi project using IS12.

Windows Installer doesn't allow two MSI setups to be in their Execute sequences at the same time. So once the first setup has entered the Execute sequence the second won't be able to enter its Execute sequence. But there's nothing in Windows Installer that prevents two setups from running their UI sequences simultaneously.

Thank you Stefan. That explains everything.
