All, I have a number of .msi's that are built using the WiX toolset, and they are also made available as a single .exe package using WiX Burn.
A number of those individual installations check for the presence of the Window File Based Write Filter, and if found will prompt for a reboot and then continue installing after the reboot. However for the Burn package this is not working as I'd hoped - which is of course that I wouldn't have to do anything and a combination of luck and magic would make it all go away. What I therefore want is for a check to be performed at the beginning of the Burn .exe for the presence of the FBWF and perform a reboot, and following the reboot the .exe continues to install, but I'm not sure if this is even possible because it's an .exe rather than an .msi. Any clues? If so then perhaps you also know how to make the thing reboot once all of the MSIs have installed so that I can bring the system back up with the FBWF re-enabled.
