Visual Studio Code updates still failing with auto-close

[Jared]

Hi Andrew,

Yes, it's definitely an issue with the VS Code installer.  The question was really how or if we could work around it in an automated way.  The pre-script idea is great, I just haven't had a chance to implement it yet.  I'll report back when I do!

Hi, sorry to resurrect this post, but this continues to be an on-going issue for our organization.  I myself just got a new laptop and I'm already facing this issue with every update to VS Code.

Something I did notice, even though we have "Auto-close conflicting application process before installation", I see a /NOCLOSEAPPLICATION switch in the installer command, which seems strange.  Please find the VS Code install log and the PatchMyPC script runner log entries from Jan 13.
