RE: [WiX-users] Reboot at end

FWIW, installers that make me reboot are automatically Bad Installers(tm).
Installers that force me to reboot are Downright Evil(tm).

That said...<g>

You can set the REBOOT property to suppress reboots and then use the
ReplacedInUseFiles property to conditionally display your custom dialog. You
can then use the ForceReboot action to reboot.

orcereboot_action.asp for details.

	At the end of install/upgrade, if a reboot is required there is an
automatic reboot yes/no dialog that pops up. is there a way in WiX to turn
this off or control it? 

	Or

	How do you create/sequence a reboot (OK only) dialog without the
yes/no option? 

	In essence what I would like to do is have my own dialog appear with
directions instructing the user to close all their applications and then
click "finish" to reboot the computer.
