Re: [WiX-devs] Find reboot pending

[Heath S. <clu...@gm...>]

Windows Installer sets that if a reboot is necessary. If you know what your
last package is, you can check that but a chainer normally handles eating
the reboot requests (error code 3010, ERROR_SUCCESS_REBOOT_REQUIRED).

Note that the property is only set by MSI. If another installer (CBS, etc.)
requires a reboot there are different ways of determing that. Alas, there's
no single good way to detect if a reboot is pending / required.
