Prerequisite (MSI 4.5): Setup does not resume after reboot
Hi,
Basic MSI
Windows Vista 32bit
I´ve added the default MSI 4.5 Prerequisite to a Basic MSI project. Default behavior setting is 'Reboot the machine and resume on reboot'.
Setup prompts the user for reboot (Yes or No) after MSI 4.5 installation. Clicking Yes reboots the machine but the setup does not resume.
Installed directly from a desktop folder.

I have the same problem when installing a different prerequisite. However this problem only occurs when I am installing from a cd. It does NOT occur when installing from the files extracted off the cd.
When installing from the cd and checking the RunOnce in the registry, it only has "\setup.exe". Shouldn't it have the entire path?

I'm experiencing this same problem, where my install does not restart after a reboot caused by the Windows Installer 4.5 prerequisite. Has anyone else seen this problem, and if so is there a workaround?

I'm experiencing almost the same problem.
What I'm seeing is that the setup resume installing after th ereboot, however it goes to th einstallation of my application in stead of going on with installing Prerequisites (like SQL Server 2008).
I have to reboot beacause I want to install SQL server 2008 (and that gives an error if the computer is not rebooted).

I'm also experiencing a similar issue...
Prerequisites that appear: MSI 4.5, .Net 3.5 SP1, SQL Server Express 2008
Steps:
- Install 4.5 Prerequisite
- Install .Net 3.5 SP1
- Yes to Reboot
- On resume the SQL Server Express 2008 Prerequisite no longer appears...
If I close the prerequisite window and relaunch the installer the SQL Server Express 2008 Prerequisite appears again?
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

I am having the same problem. I have two prerequisite Windows installer 4.5 and .NET Framework SP1. I think .NET Framework SP1 doesn't require reboot so I removed it from reboot. WI 4.5 requires reboot. Installation asks me to reboot the machine. I chose Yes but after reboot my setup is not resuming.

I'm still having this issue... I've just logged it as a known issue, but a solution would be ideal. Anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks

Anyone ever get a resolution for this? I too am seeing my SQL Server 2008 prereq skipped after the reboot for Windows Installer 4.5.
