ForceReboot never clears cached properties?

The situation is :
1. Run setup
2. in UISequence after some checks setup needs to reboot (ForceReboot used)
3. after computer restarted and OS logged in setup continues
4. CANCEL the installation pressing "cancel"
5. Try to launch setup again - the AFTERREBOOT property is "1" forever!

Each time I start setup , it starts as it continues after "forcereboot" though it was first canceled and only then started again.

The question is how can I handle the "cached" properties of "forcerebooted" installations?
OR how can I tell the setup to start "from Zero" without specifying smth in command line parameters to msiexec.exe ?


Thanks everybody.

You should find a ".ipi" file in the "%Windir%\Installer" cache folder.

If you delete this file, all should be well again.

I'd love to know where this stuff is documented though!?!
