One of the top VS Setup failures is a 259 from our UnGAC, even though we have a big try/catch that should make it never fail. Tell the Setup engine that 259 is another kind of success to keep this nonblocking. Fixes AB#1899796. Co-authored-by: Matt Cavallari <[email protected]>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Assuming this 259 is STILL_RUNNING and the installer kills such a hanging process, I wonder if we shouldn't implement a time limit in our code also. The amount of time the installer is willing to wait may still be unreasonably long and the user experience degraded.
