[wix-users] BootstrapperApplication.RestartRequired

[Tyler Gustafson]

I'll be the first to admit that I'm nowhere close to an expert with this stuff yet and I'm especially shaky with bootstrapper stuff. I see the files in use dialog when I lock something with this script and I can see in the msi log that a reboot will be required, but if that doesn't bubble up to the bootstrapper in some way then I'm afraid that's as far as I can help. Hopefully someone else has some insight for you.

PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding MsiSystemRebootPending property. Its value is '1'.
RESTART MANAGER: The user chose to go on with the installation, although a reboot will be required.

btw, don't you think FileInUse should be used here?
