Subject: [wix-users] Handle ISO mapping lost after reboot

Hi guys,

Hope you are all doing well in these difficult times.

I have an installer that uses .NET Framework 4.8. We distribute the product electronically in an ISO. In most modern OS'es you double click on the ISO, it maps it to a drive and you install from there. The problem comes in when it needs to reboot after the .NET install and the ISO is no longer mapped after the reboot.  So the folder where the install was prior to the reboot non longer exists.

Does the bootstrapper copy all the setup files to a temp directory on the machine or is the only answer to this to require that the ISO get mapped through the reboot?
I am considering adding a message to the ResolveSource handler to tell the user that it cannot find the expected folder, giving them a chance to mount the ISO again and continue or cancel to abort the install.

I got some code from a similar question (function is below), but that just sent the installer into an infinite loop, creating a 6 Gig log file.  Oops.  Also below is an extract from the log file.

Is there a way to handle this scenario?

Thanks,
Tyrel
