Hi everyone, I've been trying out WiX with great success so far, but now I'm stuck in a specific issue using Burn bootstrapper. I'm using WixNetFxExtension and PackageGroup "NetFx40Web" to install .NET framework 4.0 as a prerequisite. This seems to work out well.
However, I'm also installing IronPython later in the chain, and this MSI requires the .NET framework to already be installed when it is launched. For some reason, this package does not seem to be able to detect .NET, although it only executes later in the chain. This condition then causes the whole bootstrapper package to fail. Now, because .NET framework presumably requested a reboot, when the installer fails it asks the user to reboot to conclude the rollback procedure. After the reboot, if you run the bootstrapper again, .NET is correctly detected and IronPython install proceeds accordingly. The question then is: how to make sure this reboot is performed immediately after the .NET install package is executed? I couldn't find any options in the PackageGroupRef and searching this mailing list and other forums yielded no further hints. By the way, I tried this with both WiX v3.6 and v3.7 with the same results.
