CloseApplications custom action may crash on 64-bit systems if the number of processes to close exceeds the default memory alignment for a platform. E.g. on AMD64 seven processes is enough to trigger the problem, while on ARM64 it has to be more.
I encountered the above problem trying to close an Electron application. Electron apps have at least 6 child processes of the very same name as the master process. It causes a buffer overflow in
ProcWaitForIds
function.
