Installer never quits (WM_QUIT isn't delivered) when run as service on Vista

[wixbot]

When Burn is finished, it sends a WM_QUIT message. When run as a service on Windows Vista, this message never gets delivered and the installer never quits. WixStdBA needs to be updated to avoid using window messages.

If we can get a fix before WiX beta, we'll consider it for v3.8. Ideally, something that didn't use that extra variable.

The problem is caused somehow by loading the theme - disabling theme loading causes PostQuitMessage to work.

Sean Hall discovered:

SHAutoComplete documentation says you need to wait for the control to be destroyed before calling CoUninitialize. Since the window gets the WM_DESTROY message before its child controls, the control is probably never being destroyed. If we wait for the WM_NCDESTROY message instead, the control will be destroyed when we call PostQuitMessage.

Now that we know the fix (which is trivial) what 3.x release should it be fixed in?

This was fixed in WiX v3.9 RC4.
