[wix-users] Passing command-line options to MsiPackage

Hi,

Thanks Andreas for the quick answer.
Although this is how it should work, the application requires a reboot
after being installed from the msi so it can function properly.
Strangely setting the MsiProperty: MSIINSTALLPERUSER=1, fixes the reboot
problem, but breaks the uninstallation, as now only my Bundle is being
removed, but not the msi. I don't have a clue why this is happening and how
I should proceed.

Regards,
Ivaylo
