Hello world,

I am giving myself an aneurism trying to work out how to signal that a reboot should occur at the end of my install.

It is a question answered many times on this board, and I understand that I must either place a REBOOT property in the msi database or add a ScheduleReboot action to the sequence table.

Having created my installer using a VS.NET setup project I don't want to have to edit the .msi file manually with orca in any way after compilation. However I don't see how I can modify the database tables as part of the setup project.

If there are no project options, then perhaps it can be achieved programatically? I have written a custom action class in c# which takes care of my special requirements post install. Is there a way to flag the need for a reboot from Install(), or possibly at Commit() time?

If anyone can tell me how I can achieve this, I'll be eternally grateful!

Many thanks in advance,
Charlie
