Look for 1603 and 1903 "INFO"-type messages. You may need to add the "x" along with the rest of "v*" or "voicewarmup" (depending on how you are specifying the things to log) to get them but somewhere it will log telling you exactly which files are causing the reboot.
So either voicewarmupx or v*x. -----Original Message----- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@robmensching.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 02, 2009 9:35 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
