Please close me so I can continue

This morning I was installing the recently released .NET 3.5 redistributable on a machine and had to laugh when it showed me this. Note the title bar - the application is literally asking me to close it so it can continue. FWIW, pressing ignore seemed to make it happy.

This can be reproduced if you start .NET Framework 3.5 installation several times and then cancel all instances except for one to continue the installation.

Yep, I think that's what happened. I must have ran the program twice and the first instance didn't shut down cleanly. But I must say that this dialog gave me a good laugh in the heat of my frustration :)
