Hey guys, in an install I need to install MDAC_Typ.exe and then Windows Media Player.  I've found that if I reboot after having installed both MDAC and Windows Media Player that numerous Windows Media Player components fail to register.  Thus, I want to install MDAC and then force a reboot before continuing with the installation.  Can anyone recommend a way to do this?  I've tried using a ForceReboot, but I'm not having much luck in this department.  By the way, this is a Standard Project.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.  Thank you.

There are a couple of ways to achieve this.  I use
szTitle = "System Reboot";
szMsg = @FINISH_COPY + @PLEASE_REBOOT;
RebootDialog(szTitle, szMsg, SYS_BOOTMACHINE);

Please note that if you want to continue after the reboot, you must set BATCH_INSTALL=TRUE prior to the reboot.

Hope this helps.
