I didn't where to put this. If this is in the wrong section please move it. When i install Mageia 1 final the installer closed 2 times with no reason. In the installer every time i opened the advanced options a new window will open but if i close the advanced options window, the installer will close also. I don't if this a bug but i think this is wrong.
Sorry for my English.

Sounds like a bug. Want to file a bug report?
https://bugs.mageia.org/That would be helpful for the devs.

I think I understand what the problem is. I guess you are installing from the live CD?
I had this problem too, and it's really annoying. I'll write the bug report if you confirm that the problem you had was the same as mine.
The problem is that when you install Mageia from the live CD, it launches then installer in a new window. If you click on an "Advanced" button, it will show another window. To close this window and go back to the installer, you should use "Cancel" and NOT the cross at the top of the window, like we're used to. For if you click on that cross, it will close both the "Advanced config" window and the main installer window. So your installation will likely be broken if it stops abruptly.
This could be solved with:
1) Having the second window's cross close ONLY the second window.
2) Display a warning dialog: "Are you sure you want to quit the installer?"
3) Both (that would be nice).
Is this the problem you had?
