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

[Carter Young]

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...
