I have a privious product A which include a nested products B.
In order to upgrade A with C,I add the upgrade code of A to the upgrade table of C.When I uninstall A,B was also uninstalled.But after uninstall B,there is a reboot needed.Otherwise,product D nested in the C,which also the new version of B,can not be installed.

How can I install the product D?

Thanks a lot.

this sets the value of the path to setup.exe to wherever it is launched from:

NUMBER nvSize, nResponse;
STRING svName;

begin

//Find the path to setup.exe
nvSize = 256;
nResponse = MsiGetProperty (ISMSI_HANDLE, "SETUPEXEDIR", svName, nvSize);
gszSetupPath = svName;

once this value is found and you need to reboot, you can require a reboot. I would recommend creating a temporary registry key that your install checks for here. Add a shortcut to setup.exe in the startup folder and when the setup resumes, it can decide what to do based on the registry key you create before reboot.

Thank you very much.
I think it's a good solution.
But I was confused that when I will reboot the machine?
