[wix-users] RestartResource is not working for VS2015 on windows server 2012

HI,

I am making use of util:RestartResource to close the VS , if vs is
running.during our product installation.

*wix code goes like this.*

<Component Id="ScaffolderExtension.vsix"
Guid="{38173E26-6019-4756-9DF4-2BA2BEB66B47}">
          <File Id="MVC_ScaffolderExtension.vsix" KeyPath="yes"
Source="MVC_ScaffolderExtension.vsix">
            <VS:VsixPackage
PackageId="ScaffolderExtension..40e7bb7e-f72d-44cf-8439-2567be2590c6"/>
          </File>
          <util:RestartResource Path="[VS2015DEVENV]"
ProcessName="devenv.exe"/>
 </Component>

*in the log i m seeing :*

wixregisterrestartresources: The MsiRestartManagerSessionKey property is
not available to join.

*when looked at the : RestartManager.cpp*

hr = ::StringCchLengthW(wzSessionKey, CCH_SESSION_KEY,
&cchSessionKey);    ExitOnFailure(hr, "Failed to get the
MsiRestartManagerSessionKey string length.");    // Skip if the
property doesn't exist.    if (0 == cchSessionKey)    {
WcaLog(LOGMSG_STANDARD, "The MsiRestartManagerSessionKey property is
not available to join.");        ExitFunction();    }


*from msdn : *


The installer sets the value of the *MsiRestartManagerSessionKey*
property at initialization, and then clears the value during the
InstallValidate
<https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa369546(v=vs.85).aspx>
action. Custom actions that need the value of the
*MsiRestartManagerSessionKey* property must be come before the
InstallValidate action in the action sequence.


So, What could be the issue here?
