[wix-users] Bundle crashes on Win 7 / Win2008R2

[Cedric Lebrun]

Hi,

I've created a very basic bundle using WiX v3.10.2, Visual Studio 2015 and .Net 4.5.2.
This bundle uses a managed bootstrapper application (C#/.Net 4.5.2 Winforms app)

This bundle works well on Win10/Win8.1 but crashes on Win7/Win2008R2.

Here is the bootstrapper log:

Here are the errors generated in event viewer:

Any idea / advice ?

Thank you,
