Are you trying to install on a Windows XP machine by any chance?

I had this issue with the WiX 3.7 release due to the registry entry the
bootstrapper makes in order to recover if there is a power failure or system
crash of some sort. In the 3.7 release, Windows XP would run the bundle
again just as it finished the first instance - but that didn't happen in
Windows 7 or 8.

With WiX 3.8 the bootstrapper works correctly in XP as well, since the hard
working developers here changed the registry keys being used.

I'm not sure what this business with the eventHandler is. Could you explain
that part?
