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

[Rob Mensching]

Burn caches packages so the TEMP can be removed at restart. If you are doing ParallelCache ensure caching completes before restart is executed.

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...
