I want to make sure I understand this. Does Wix currently have anyway for a restart to happen halfway through an install and then continue the install when the computer restarts? Or is the problem that the .NET install is doing something in particular that's causing that functionality to fail? Eri

I think you'll find that SQL 2008 requires .NET 3.5 to be installed (SQL 2012 will work with .NET 3.5 or 4.0). Neil >I'm creating a Bundle that installs the .NET Framework 4 and then SQL >Server Express as needed. The Chain element looks as follows: > > > > > > > >
