A project that creates a bootstrapper (and uses the Bundle element) should produce an EXE, and not an msi. An MSI does not have the appropriate 'entry point' which is what the error indicates. You might find it easier to use the built-in support for installing .Net 4.0. In my bootstrapper (exe)

I haven't seen anything here that says that the installation has failed. Are you saying it fails because it shows a files-in-use dialog, or it fails because it doesn't behave the way you think it should? Files-in-use dialogs are fairly normal, they are not failures, although in your case if the
