[wix-users] Forcing a reboot after installing an MSI from a Bundle

[Herman van Drie]

What does your prerequisite package do that would require a reboot?
I always look why it needs that, and if it's just to start a driver/service, I would make sure it gets started using a CA before continuing.
So, instead of making the scenario unnecessarily complex, rather deal with original issue.

Mean, can help you, but you need to provide better info about your prerequisite package.

Cheers,

Herman

More info: The MSI already the following in it.

    <InstallExecuteSequence>
      <ScheduleReboot After="InstallFinalize"/>
    </InstallExecuteSequence>

When you run the MSI directly, it reboots as requested.  When you run it
from within a Bundle, the reboot request is saved for later.   I need it to
happen at once, and for the installer to continue after the reboot.

I find information online about how to force a reboot after an <ExePackage> executes, but nothing about how to force an immediate reboot if an <MsiPackage> requests it.  I have a situation where a prerequisite package required for certain machines requires a reboot afterwards.  If that reboot does not happen, then other things (service starts, mainly) will blow up later in the installation.

Any ideas?
