[wix-users] Reboot WixStandardBootstrapperApplication vs ManagedBootstrapperApplicationHos

It seems that WixStandardBootstrapperApplication and ManagedBootstrapperApplicationHost do not handle scheduled reboot in msi in the same way.

First of all I created a simple demo msi installing a txt file and scheduling a reboot before install finalize.

<InstallExecuteSequence>
  <ScheduleReboot Before="InstallFinalize" >NOT Installed</ScheduleReboot>
</InstallExecuteSequence>

Then I tested the msi with WixStandardBootstrapperApplication and ManagedBootstrapperApplicationHost I built from source https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3/tree/develop/src/Setup/WixBA. Only the WixStandardBootstrapperApplication comes up with the restart message box after installation of the msi is finished. The ManagedBootstrapperApplicationHost doesn't show any message box concerning reboot after installation. Reboot is recognized on re-run of the managed bootstrapper though.

Does anybody know how to change the managed bootstrapper to show (default) reboot message box after installation of the package(s)? Setting variable RebootPending didn't work.
