Assuming your invoking the bundle from a batch file...

start /wait bundle.exe -install -q -norestart

should work.

Subject: [wix-users] silent installation of burn bootstrapper returns immediately without waiting for installation to finish

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?
Building with 3.8


My Bundle looks like this:
