Is there an easy way to configure a reboot functionality in a setup project,
so that after installing the program the user has to reboot his pc?
Thanks, Markus

From a user perspective, is it really necessary to reboot the PC? Most
people find that quite irritating.
If you for some reason really have to, you could create a custom action
that pinvokes the windows shutdown api call

Yes you are right, rebooting is not the best alternative - sometimes its
necessary.
Thanks for the idea of a user action, i thought a reset is maybe easy to
configure by a property of the setup project. But anyway the user action will
be one option.
Thanks for your help, Markus.

Hi all,
I am trying to add a reboot to a setup project. The help simply says to add
the reboot property in the action sequence. The closest I can come to
figuring out what they mean is to add a custom action...but then why have
ScheduleReboot Action properties? Can anyone help me with this?
thanks

I deploy a Windows Service which requires a reboot after setup. The setup
project, however, does not automatically recognize this requirement.How do I
force a reboot (or set a reboot property) in the setup project (VS 2003)?
Any hints are appreciated.

My deployment contains sevral projects, one of which is a service. The

way I can put something into the deplyment project to make the target system
reboot at the end of the setup?
