Anyone Know this?

Hello,

I apologize if I am posting in the wrong area. I have a vb.net app that
I want to install. I have created the setup package but I need to force the
workstation to reboot after installation. How can I accomplish this? Thanks
in advance.

Hi,

You need orca.exe to edit the setup msi. Open the msi with orca.
Go to the properties table and right click in the table and select add new
row. Add the property REBOOT and set its value to FORCE. Set the property
folderForm_allusers to all if you want to install for everyone instead of
me. Orca is part of the windows installer sdk.
