When specifying Priority="0" on the NativeImage extension, the installation properly executes an ngen command with no /queue qualifier and the native image is successfully generated but, at the end of the install the NativeImage extension executes an "ngen update /queue" command which deletes all of the native images and queues an update. The result is that native images are not available when the installation is complete.
This is WiX V3.0.5405. The following is a fragment of the ngen.log file which shows the JAMSScheduler.exe image being generated and showing that it is missing at the end of the installation.
