Hi, experts!
Give your answer for next question please. Can I create installer (using MSI and/or Win32 API) for some product, which can be installed during system shutdown (like windows updates).
Thanks in advance!

Sorry for the delay in responding. I had the answer the same day and was *sure* I'd posted it....evidently not!
I cannot imagine under what circumstances anyone would want to install stuff this way - it tends to be used for clean-up tasks and such - but what you have to do is add a shutdown script. The easiest way to do that is via Group Policy. Have no fear: this doesn't mean it can only happen in AD environments, nor that you have to get into Group Policy scripting (although that would be the neatest solution).
Have a play with GPEdit and then check out the results in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\Scripts (user scripts)
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\Scripts (machine scripts)
That will give you a clue as to what you need to add to the registry to accomplish what you want.
See this MS article for more details. For user-based scripts (!), change where the article says 'Computer Configuration' to 'User Configuration'.
