Vim managed update shutdown note
For managed Vim updates, close running Vim/gVim instances before invoking the Windows installer. The EXE x64 and x86 packages can return Exit Code 0 while the binaries are not actually updated when Vim is still open, so Intune, ConfigMgr, RMM, or PSADT deployments should pre-close or prompt for vim.exe and gvim.exe instead of treating installer success alone as proof that the upgrade landed.
Validate Windows installer filenames and versions against the official Vim win32 installer releases source before packaging.
For managed Vim EXE updates on Windows, close all Vim/gVim sessions before starting the installer. If Vim is open, setup can return success while the binaries are not updated, so close the editor first and verify the executable version after installation.
