Works by running `node repro.js` but doesn't work in a VS Code extension

repro.js

const spawn = require("child_process").spawn;

const msi = spawn("msiexec", ["/i", "C:\\Users\\tyleonha\\Downloads\\PowerShell-7.0.0-rc.2-win-x64.msi"], {
    detached: true,
    stdio: "ignore",
    shell: false,
    windowsHide: true,
});

msi.unref();

msi.on("close", (code) => {
    console.log("we done");
});

run this and close the terminal... the MSI should still be running.

@deepak1556 any ideas why detached wouldn't be working properly in VS Code but it does in node(12)?

Do people get notifications on gists, @Tyriar?

Pinged in person.

I looked into this briefly, the issue doesn't repro with electron, I have to check how extension host is spawned which will answer the question.

Thanks for the info @deepak1556. Let me know if I can help test anything for you.
