Reboot configured in setup project

=?Utf-8?B?TWFya3Vz?=

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.
