[wix-users] Restart with Standard user as opposed to Admin user.

[Phill Hogland]

I handle a reboot in the middle of the chain, for the same reason, which I implemented by following the code in the WixStdBA, which also has this functionality.  I think more detail as to what "this works, but not" means would be helpful.  What do the logs indicate?  If you create a similar test using the WixStdBA does it have the same "this works, but not" behavior?  I and my QA group have not noticed ay issues in this area.

Hi All,

I've written a burn chainer that requires .Net framework and reportviewer. I've found that if the .Net framework says it requires a reboot, that this must happen before installing reportviewer, otherwise that component fails.

I handle this by checking restartrequired flag in OnExecutePackageComplete and forcing a restart there and then. In OnShutdown I'm returning Result.Restart if I need to restart.

I want the system to restart and my installer to continue after that restart. This works when logged in as Admin, but not when logged in as a standard user. How can I make this work?

-Nick
