Launch a standalone process that elevates and communicates back to your BA. We've talked about adding this feature to Burn so there is only a single elevation prompt in the end but no one has contributed it yet. Funny thing is the only reason we've needed it thus far is because the IIS team screwe

Nicolás, Wow, that's a lot of information, and I'm not sure I'm interpreting it correctly. It sounds like option 5 is closest to ideal. Is that right? If it sounds like the right answer, can you post an example showing how to replicate it? -- Charles On Thursday, October 3, 2013 at 11:38

We really need a verbose log to see what's going on. If potentially any kind of repair, including right-click on the MSI or even applying a patch later on, causes a reboot then the underlying issue isn't the repair it's the reboot. It may be an in-use file, it may even be a ScheduleReboot (or Force

I have a theory on why the reboot may have happened, if the .exe file is not versioned (which I asked but didn't get an answer yet). As others said before, because the registry key is in HKCU, when launching the advertised shortcut for the first time in a user account, the installer will notice th

Nicolás, I like your theory… It seems very plausible. Unfortunately, the .exe is versioned, and so is every one of its .dlls. I double-checked by using Explorer to examine the Details page of each file's Properties. The icon is taken from the .exe file, so there isn't even a data file that coul
