You should take a verbose log of the MSI update install and look for things
like files in use or other reasons for a reboot.  If you're worried about
pending reboots when you start your install something like the
MsiSystemRebootPending property might help, not sure if Burn has an
equivalent.

Subject: [wix-users] Upgrade prompts for restart

Hi everyone,

Why would my upgrade that's basically only replaces files (minor update of
the msi, majorUpgrade of the bundle) require a restart?
Is it possible that the machine has a pending restart (perhaps an os update
that hasn't completed) and that's why I also get a restart required?

Thanks,

Roni (Aron) Fuchs
