Null Reference on Get ClosingForInstall??

Hi All,

When exiting my program I have a piece of code which checks whether we are closing for install or not and then exits fast if needed:

If AutomaticUpdater1.ClosingForInstall Or bFast = True Then

'Allow exit immediately bExitFast = True Application.Exit()

Else Application.Exit() End If

But I am getting the following error when exiting?

System.NullReferenceException was unhandled HResult=-2147467261 Message=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Any ideas?
