When installing the emulator on Windows, the installer shows the progress bar, then disappears and immediately launches the emulator.
This behavior is not typical for windows installers and disorienting as the new emulator window appears above anything else the user is working on.
Most installers show a final page with a "Finish" button and a checkbox (checked by default) to confirm whether the user wants to run the software right away.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Download and run BotFramework-Emulator-4.2.1-windows-setup.exe
Proceed through the first few prompts until the installer progress bar starts working
Change windows to any other open app (optional)
Observe that the installer closes itself without any warning and the emulator appears above all other work (stealing context).
Expected behavior
When install progress is finished, the installer should stay in the background, show a final confirmation page that offers the option to open the emulator, and flash a taskbar notification to alert the user that it's finished.
