Now we KNOW we have found the -real- problem... :)~ Tried to use Upgrade to detect when a reboot is required:
<Upgrade Id="$(var.UpgradeCode)"> <UpgradeVersion Minimum="$(var.BGProductVersion)" IncludeMinimum="no" OnlyDetect="yes" Language="1033" Property="NEWPRODUCTFOUND" /> <UpgradeVersion Minimum="1.0.0" IncludeMinimum="yes" Maximum="$(var.BGProductVersion)" IncludeMaximum="no" Language="1033" Property="UPGRADEFOUND" /> <UpgradeVersion Maximum="6.5.0" IncludeMinimum="no" OnlyDetect="yes" Language="1033" Property="REBOOOTREQUIRED" /> </Upgrade> The last part caused the double detection by the bootstrapper and caused the installation to be skipped. How then do we get the version that is being replaced? This is needed to decide when a reboot is required. -----Original Message----- From: Jensen, Kurt Sent: Thursday, April 02, 2015 12:44 PM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset.

Why would it set the state to "Obsolete" when we are actually doing a "MajorUpgrade"? -----Original Message----- From: Jensen, Kurt Sent: Thursday, April 02, 2015 12:19 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Bundle problems 1) Our MSI sometimes requires a reboot after certain upgrades. We have programmed ScheduleReboot with the necessary condition. The previous version is removed and reboot is requested when run directly from the MSI. a) No reboot is requested when run from the encompassing bundle. The MSI log shows return value of 3010. b) The previous version is not uninstalled when run from the bundle. 2) Another alternative, and a solution to a different problem, would be to display the MSI UI during installation. We have set DisplayInternalUI="yes" but the bundle behaves same as not. Online information is scarce and contradictory. What controls should we expect to work? What should be the expected behavior?
