[wix-users] Restart from MBA

[Parkes, Kevin]

The original error (described below) is intermittent (tester report it occurring approx. once in 10 attempts)

For debugging purposes, I am leaving the installed program running and setting e.Result to Result.Restart in ExecuteFilesInUse. However, I'm not seeing e.Restart == RestartRequired in either ExecutePackageComplete or ApplyComplete. 

I'm sure I must be doing something wrong, somewhere but I have no idea what...

I'm currently fighting with my MBA with the installation of a Windows Update (.msu package), which requires a restart.

Here is what I have achieved so far as working thing; If there is a restart required due to any Package, then, in
ExecutePackageComplet() {
if(e.Restart==ApplyRestart.RestartRequired)
 DoReboot=true;
//But this is not necessary, because in  ApplyComplete(), e.Restart would also be RestartRequired i.e.
ApplyComplete()
{
  if(e.Restart==ApplyRestart.RestartRequired)
  {
    //Here you can ask if system should be restarted
    //if yes, then
    e.Result=Result.Restart;
   }
}

Hope it would help....
