Hello,

I am building a simple burn bootstrapper with WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.HyperlinkLicense and doing a silent installation using the switches -install -q -norestart.
When calling with this commandline the process immediately returns and does not wait for the installation to finish.
Is there a way to make the call wait?
