No, it's not obvious at all. 
BTW, thanks for the MSDN reference. If his "app" is a command line app ("console application" in Windows lingo), then - according to
this article - SIGINT should be deliverd to both parent and child.
But then what is his actual problem (aside from the missing
cleanup of extracted files if packed with --clean? Is the SIGINT
handler in the child not called? And what does "it doesn't run properly without the parent app and does not exit" mean? 
OTOH if his "app" is a GUI application, there's no console window, 
so what does Ctrl-C mean here?
I think this is a typical case of an "XY problem", so I need
a minimal example to see what's actually going on, otherwise
I'll close this bug report.
