You can do a /layout to get the contents of the bundle, then you would need to do an admin install with the msi. Don't know if there is a /admin on the bundle, you could make one if not that calls each msi in turn with admin parameters. -Original Message- From: Bruce Cran [mailto:br...@

Get a verbose log and look for "in use" messages or other stuff that refers to a reboot - you'll need to see what's going on. Keep in mind that suppressing the reboot doesn't automatically get rid of all the reasons a reboot might be necessary, and the MSI is returning the result (probably the 3010
