Hello all,

I have an MSI I created via Wix that is installed as part of a larger 
bootstrapper. The bootstrapper performs certain steps than can cause a reboot.  
After a restart, the bootstrapper continues via the RunOnce registry key.

The MSI, in addition to installing files, adds a directory to the system path 
via the Environment element.  Under Vista (and maybe XP, not tested), if the 
MSI executes after a restart, the new system path is not reflected after 
Windows continues booting when the install process is completed.  I can look in 
System Properties and see the directory in the Path, and when I click OK, it 
refreshes and works properly.  

Is this an issue with Windows Installer or is it designed behavior?  Is there a 
proper workaround to this issue?

Thanks,
Ben
