Re: [WiX-users] How to handle multiple versions

[WiX-users] Bootstrapper reboots automatically

Hi, I'm experiencing unwanted reboot when upgrading our product from one version to another. This is seems an expected behavior, but I was not expecting it :) The question - is there any way to prevent ANY reboot? Or maybe I can determine it prior upgrade and prevent upgrade? Latter will work

Re: [WiX-users] Hyperlink in WiX dialogue
