Re: [WiX-users] Scheduling a Reboot After InstallFinalize
I think the problem is that I'm trying to perform this action in a Merge Module. I have a merge module that installs some underlying driver files and needs a reboot. The code you mentioned below does work for a MSI but not a MSM which according to Microsoft shouldn't anyway. I am currently doing the following: InstallExecuteSequence ScheduleReboot Sequence=7000 / InstallFinalize Sequence=6600 / /InstallExecuteSequence This works but I guess I'm just worried about anybody that might pull in my MSM who has modified the sequence number for InstallFinalize to be greater than the number I hard-coded in.

Re: [WiX-users] Scheduling a Reboot After InstallFinalize
Oh, Merge Module, well that changes everything. Yeah, MSI SDK doesn't allow that. Why are you using a Merge Module? Very unfriendly of a Merge Module to shove a reboot into someone else's product... especially if they already have a ScheduleReboot elsewhere. -Original Message- From: jnewton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 01, 2008 09:09 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Scheduling a Reboot After InstallFinalize I think the problem is that I'm trying to perform this action in a Merge Module.

Re: [WiX-users] Scheduling a Reboot After InstallFinalize
This MSM is currently shared by not only the product I create, but also by a few other products internally. I inherited this code from another developer and I'm willing to try different routes to conform to better practice. I thought that if an MSI and MSM both defined some standard action with different sequence numbers, the MSI always overruled. Maybe not? The overall scenario is that this MSM installs underlying driver files and needs a reboot at the end of the installation. This MSM is shared by internal groups and we allow our customers to pull in this MSM as well (i.e. maybe if they were building some MSI in Visual Studio) If you have some thoughts regarding a different way to handle this scenario, I'm up for anything.

Re: [WiX-users] Scheduling a Reboot After InstallFinalize
1. Fair enough. Sharing with multiple products (not all using WiX toolset) pretty much requires Merge Modules. 2. Ahh, yeah, that sounds right. MSI overrides MSM sequencing. I've avoided MSMs for quite a while moving to .wixlibs... but all my products use WiX so I can do that. 3. Drivers suck. smile/ If the reboot is really required then you're stuck. Again, drivers suck. -Original Message- From: jnewton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 01, 2008 09:21 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Scheduling a Reboot After InstallFinalize This MSM is currently shared by not only the product I create, but also by a few other products internally.

Re: [WiX-users] Scheduling a Reboot After InstallFinalize
The sequencing of ScheduleReboot isn't usually very important - you can put it anywhere, and it just sets a flag to prompt for a reboot after the install. The action itself doesn't need to be after InstallFinalize. It's the ForceReboot action that is immediate.
