We are currently deploying a WPF 4 app via click once and there is a scenario when the installation fails.
If the user does not have .Net 4.0 Full install and attempts to install our app the framework installs fine but the app fails to install. If we re-run the installation again the app installs fine.
Here is a copy of the log:

COMPONENT STORE TRANSACTION DETAILS
No transaction information is available.
I'm baffled. Any ideas what this could be?
Edit
I've just noticed that dfsvc.exe that runs right after install is located in .Net 2 folder, when I re-run the installer the dfsvc.exe is located in .Net 4 folder.
Edit 2
I've been speaking to Microsoft's support and what we've found is that due to the fact that a previous version of .Net 4 (beta in our case) was installed and un-installed it left several files behind. When the installer for .Net was executed it required renaming some files then a reboot but since the files we're left by the previous version the installer thought the renaming had already taken place and did not request a reboot.
