While doing other research I came across these threads, and made note of them in the event that I might need them in the future.

Re: [WiX-users] Reboot required during major upgrade in-between uninstall and re-install
Thank you, Phil. Unfortunately, I only have one MSI that installs both my application and ext2fsd. Are you suggesting that I split them up into two MSIs and then bundle them using Burn? Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Reboot-required-during-major-upgrade-in-between-uninstall-and-re-install-tp7600688p7600693.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Monitor 25 network devices or servers for free with OpManager!

Re: [WiX-users] Reboot required during major upgrade in-between uninstall and re-install
I guess I misread your question and assumed that you were using Burn. Given that I came across those posts I thought they might be helpful but if you are not using Burn I can't really make any suggestion. I have only used the approach of putting each app and each driver in a separate UI-less MSI and then chaining them using Burn. I have some bundles which have several hundred msi packages in the chain and I find that this approach works well for me. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Reboot-required-during-major-upgrade-in-between-uninstall-and-re-install-tp7600688p7600695.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Monitor 25 network devices or servers for free with OpManager!
