This is a bug in NETFX. Let’s not go too crazy implementing features for
something that will hopefully not exist widely at all.

While thinking of a response, I came up with an idea that could make the
message unnecessary. What if mbahost did the elevation? The problem with that
is by the time it knows that it should try to elevate, it's too late - the CLR
is loaded. But what if it could relaunch the bundle and ask the engine to do
the elevation before creating the BA? As long as the user didn't move the
splash screen, they wouldn't even notice that it had launched twice. The
elevation prompt would be at a different time than normal, but at least the BA
is still running unelevated and the install can go on.

I vote for Number 2, "cannot be installed".
Number 1 seems to imply it can be installed but won't run. I would prefer to
just block the install at that point.
Number 3 is too "lawyer speak" for me.
Just my opinion, though.

Re pull request https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3/pull/59, Sean adds a
message that's shown when .NET 4.5.2 is running on Win7 RTM:
[WixBundleName] cannot run on Windows 7 RTM with .NET 4.5.2 (or greater)
installed.
I don't like that it almost-but-not-quite blames the product being
installed. I'd also like to see a root cause. The latter we could do in
the log message instead of visible to the user, if someone objected to
that. Here are some random alternatives:
[WixBundleName] cannot run because .NET 4.5.2 is not supported on Windows 7 RTM.
[WixBundleName] cannot be installed because .NET 4.5.2 is not supported on
Windows 7 RTM.
[WixBundleName] is not supported on Windows 7 RTM with .NET 4.5.2.
None of these is great; it's hard to be pithy about weird-ass bugs. I do
want to drop "(or greater)" because I expect it to not be a problem for
future .NET releases.
Anyone else have opinions? Or care?
