How to solve the "COM Surrogate" install error

Short solution to the install problem when Lightburn installer cannot stop the “COM surrogate” process. The process name is dllhost, you can stop it in Task manager.
In powershell it can be stopped by:
Get-Process | where {$_.Description -like “COM Surrogate” } | kill
use at your own risk…

COM Surrogate must be included by ‘*’ which the forum software deletes
