[wix-users] Run Burn Boostrapper or the MBA Elevated

Hi Rob,

The issue is it does not always do repair. In the case of having multiple MSI packages, the repair is a must when some are uninstalled and the cancel button is hit. Or else the system will be unstable with missing packages.

Please let me know if you have some other solutions rather than manual running the repair on the old bundle.

Yeah, you're not going to get that to work as is. But it might be a nice thing to improve *in* Burn. Burn already repairs related bundles in other scenarios. Might be interesting to enhance for upgrade rollback.

I understand and Rob Mensching has had similar answers to many of these questions.

The problem I am encountering is when I do an upgrade, I hit cancel and everything rolls back. Then I launch the old bootstrapper silently to repair to make sure that the system is stable after a fail upgrade. The old bootstrapper at launching asks to be elevated one more time and I don't want the UAC prompt to appear in this scenario. Therefore I have tried to elevate the BA or the bootstrapper so when the BA launch the old bootstrapper, the prompt will not appear.
