[wix-users] Debug Managed Bootstrapper

[Mayooran Macilamany]

Hi Mark,

Have you checked the Windows Event Logs? Under Application category you
should see the error. This could well be a permissions issue or some
security application blocking your installer. It could also be due to a
.net run time issue. Event logs should have the error code.
