posting here as well.]
My managed bootstrapper application as of 2 days back fails to run on some
machines, with the following error:
[07F4:13CC][2013-12-12T12:20:31]e000: Error 0x80040150: Failed to create the
managed bootstrapper application.

Apparently, 0x80040150 (2147746128) is: REGDB_E_READREGDB: Could not read
key from registry
In the event log, I can see:
Windows detected your registry file is still in use by other applications or
services. The file will be unloaded now. The applications or services that
hold your registry file may not function properly afterwards. No user action
is required.

It may be pertinent to mention that the BurnBasedSetupKit.exe is invoked by
a service using c# code:
Process proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "BurnBasedSetupKit.exe";
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format("-s -l {0}", logFileName);
proc.StartInfo.Verb = "runas";
proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
proc.StartInfo.ErrorDialog = false;
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
proc.Start();
proc.WaitForExit();
if (proc.ExitCode != 0)
{
throw new Exception(string.Format("Setup execution process exited with
non-zero ExitCode: {0}", proc.ExitCode.ToString()));
}
The service runs under a user who is in the local administrators group. The
BurnBasedSetupKit.exe could very well be invoked by the service when the
machine is running but there is no user logged in. [Note: When the
BurnBasedSetupKit.exe kit is invoked interactively, everything works fine.]
I tried upgrading to the latest stable version of WiX toolset, and the same
issue still occurs. This only seems to manifest on some machines. There have
been no changes in my custom managed bootstrapper codebase which has been
working flawlessly for months.
I have confirmed that I don't have the same issue as others who have run
into similar errors ( here

Would appreciate if someone could shed some light.
