Hi list...
My question is probably related to Windows Installer (not to WiX)
but anyway...
I want to use ForceReboot standard action during uninstallation of
the product.
(ForceReboot will ask for immediate reboot of computer and schedule
the installation to continue after reboot)
I have scheduled the ForceReboot action to run right after
InstallInitialize (requirement from MSDN).
Everything works as expected, but after reboot the installer ends
with error:
"The installation package could not be opened. Verify that the
package exists and that..."
Problem is that the msiexec wants to start the temporary file in
C:\Windows\Installer\ which was deleted (and this is problem) during
cleanup before reboot.
See the excerpt from the log in attachment for details.
Am I doing something wrong? Or the ForceReboot action just should
not be used during uninstall?
Thanks for any response...
Stefan
