[wix-users] ForceReboot after InstallFiles

[Davy Durham]

Hi,

   I'm trying to force a reboot mid-install for an .msi.  (I'm avoiding 
burn because strictly an .msi is a requirement).

   I'm wanting to <ForceReboot after="InstallFiles"> and then resume 
with more actions, all before the Register/Publish steps.

   It seems that in this case, after the reboot, the msi is run again 
but it starts the UI phase all over (presumable because the product is 
not registered/published).   However, if I <ForceReboot 
before="InstallFinalize"> the behavior after reboot is correct in that 
the UI reappears with a "Resume" dialog and it continues.  But the 
problem is that after the Register/Publish steps, "Installed" is now 
/true/ and who knows what the other properties' values are, which are so 
tricky to get right already regarding install/uninstall/upgrade, etc.

   Is it possible to <ForceReboot after="InstallFiles"> and have it 
resume the execute phase where it left off or at least have the UI hit 
the resume dialog when AfterReboot is true regardless of where the 
reboot occurred?


Thanks!
