A PendingFileRenameOperations entry is present after Burn exit. about issues

It's not a general problem with bundles, at least in v5.0.0-rc.2. You might try ProcMon to see how/when it's being written.

I have to recheck this with a v5.0.0-rc.2 stdba bundle.
I had some ProcMon events from a run and it was pointing to the elevated engine process.
Have to update stuff to 3.14.1 first so hopefully tomorrow.

I had the chance to check it again but it is still present in the 5.0.0-rc.2 StdBA bundle.
Created a repository with the things I did.
I also added some ProcMon logs.
From the logs I still think that something is not released when the elevated engine closes.
This empty directory should also be gone after the engine closes right?

I see your bundle is running a couple of installers. One of them has probably put the entry there. The entry is a request to delete a temp file on reboot. From the installers perspective the actual file has been moved to a temp folder and is effectively deleted while the actual delete will occur on next boot. From a UX perspective, I don't see a problem here.

Hi. I ran into the same issue on a project. I have been able to pinpoint the problem to the ExePackage element; when I create a bundle that contains an ExePackage - which doesn't require any restart on its own, a DEL****.tmp file is created in the Temp folder and a PendingFileRenameOperation is added for that file.

This is how my temp folder looked after installing a bundle that contained another bundle as an ExePackage:

When copying the DEL88AE.tmp file out, I get the renamed BIT65DB.tmp version instead and the file size jumps from 1,047 KB to 168,025 KB:

I created a repo with the code used to demonstrate the issue: https://github.com/Kakaouette/WiXPendingReboot/tree/main
