Hi all -- dumb question here. I've noticed that util:CloseApplication works within an MSI, but when that MSI is used within a bundle, we are simply prompted to reboot instead of the nice prompt.
Is there a cheap & dirty way to get the MSI-only behavior in the bundle without writing our own bootstrapper application ? We're using the stdba and Wix 3.9r2 right now. We're targeting Windows 7 only and a custom action isn't out of the question, but am curious to know if someone has already solved this problem before I start coding (smile).
