[wix-users] FW: Bundle: after reboot extracted payload is not detected

[Carter Young]

  * Disable Parallel Caching(If enabled). 
    See:http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/wix/chain.html

  * Reorganize your bundle chain if needed, Install your prerequisite
    packages in the proper order and use PrereqSupportPackage="Yes" to
    enforce this. See:
    http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/wix/msipackage.html

  * Set a  proper NAME Element for each of your package elements so that
    none of them are extracted to the default, which is AppData. See
    again
    http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/wix/msipackage.html 
    Setting a Name Element with a Proper Directory String will override
    the default behavior.
  * The last package in your chain should be mysetup.msi

Between the 3rd and 4th Bullet you can Reboot the machine, and once
restarted, restart setup at Bullet 4, or you can install all 4 Bullets
and restart

> I believe everything in AppData/Local/Temp etc is cleaned out upon reboot.  Try setting the Bundle/msi to extract the payload somewhere more permanent.  NVIDIA's Driver installer does this to prevent the behavior you describe.  All Files are extracted before the msi even runs to C:\NVIDIA\WHQL\DriverVersionNumber\blah blah, in case a user like me requires a restart when doing a clean install of new drivers.  When my machine reboots, a key gets added to HKLM\Windows\... RunOnce, and the installer finishes/cleans up...
