Help with ending an application

I was recently asked to submit a game to the Winnitron project, which is an arcade machine that loads games with some custom launcher software. Unfortunately, my exe does not respond to their launcher when it tells my game to close. I have been told their launcher is simply calling some windows command to close the application window, but it doesn't seem to work. I have some code that ends the application when the Esc key is pressed. But other than that, there is no special code that I am writing to keep the game from closing. The only unusual things I might be doing are hiding the mouse pointer and using the Ultimate Fullscreen extension (which is forcing fullscreen mode on startup).

Can anyone think of a reason their launcher would not be able to tell an MMF exe to close?

Any help is appreciated,

Maybe it's the mouse being hidden? At the end of the game make it reappear. Also,.why don't you email them and ask how they need it setup for their software.

The requester has been troubleshooting it with the Winnitron people, but they claim the problem is on my end. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't something strange that I might be doing on my end. Since you can quit from any point in the game, I don't think I can detect an "On Quit" condition, can I?

Ok,.is there anyway you can get in touch with one of the game makers that's on that site and ask them how they handle it? I has to be an event that needs to be placed in the game that isn't there yet.

EDIT: I just went to the site and there is a forum section,.post your request there....

The "ESC to end application" would be my most likely candidate, as I vaguely recall something about events that do that having to alter the way that the application is ended. Perhaps try it with an entirely blank MFA as well?

If you have any event with the condition "Close window has been selected", then it makes it your responsibility as the programmer to close your own application.

Ah, that's the quirk I was thinking of... so it might not be the ESC event's fault.
