Hi, We're starting to use Burn in our software deployment, which includes SQL Server 2008 R2, which requires Windows Installer 4.5, which on Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista requires an MSU package to be installed. In my WiX source files I have:
... <util:FileSearch Id="WindowsInstaller45_Search" Path="[SystemFolder]msi.dll" Result="version" Variable="Version2Msi"/> ... <MsuPackage Id="WindowsInstaller45_Win60x86_958655" DisplayName="Windows Installer 4.5 Update" SourceFile="lib\Windows Installer 4.5\Windows6.0-KB958655-v2-x86.msu" DetectCondition="VersionNT = v6.0 And Not VersionNT64 And Version2Msi >= v4.5.6001.22308" InstallCondition="VersionNT = v6.0 And Not VersionNT64" KB="958655" Permanent="yes"/> <MsuPackage Id="WindowsInstaller45_Win60x64_958655" DisplayName="Windows Installer 4.5 Update" SourceFile="lib\Windows Installer 4.5\Windows6.0-KB958655-v2-x64.msu" DetectCondition="VersionNT = v6.0 And VersionNT64 And Version2Msi >= v4.5.6001.22308" InstallCondition="VersionNT = v6.0 And VersionNT64" KB="958655" Permanent="yes"/> ... These get picked up correctly by Burn and it installs the MSU packages at the right time, but it doesn't reboot after installing the packages, despite it noticing so in the logs: [0C48:0C44][2012-10-18T15:05:02]: Applying execute package: WindowsInstaller45_Win60x86_958655, action: Install, path: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\4705AF4FF44E2B9ACDE5617E4C74AD428261936D\Windows6.0-KB958655-v2-x86.msu, arguments: '"C:\Windows\system32\wusa.exe" "C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\4705AF4FF44E2B9ACDE5617E4C74AD428261936D\Windows6.0-KB958655-v2-x86.msu" /quiet /norestart' [0A7C:09C8][2012-10-18T15:06:38]: Applied execute package: WindowsInstaller45_Win60x86_958655, result: 0x0, restart: Required [0C48:0C44][2012-10-18T15:06:38]: Applying execute package:... Windows needs to be rebooted between installing the Windows Installer 4.5 update and SQL Server 2008 R2, otherwise the SQL Server install fails. There doesn't seem to be a way to get Burn to reboot after installing an MSU - have I missed something, or is this a missing feature or a bug?
