MsiSetMode does not seem to work when called from deferred custom action. So, my question should have been "How do I tell Windows Installer from deferred custom action written in C that reboot is required?"

Call MsiSetMode (......) with one of the reboot choices depending on when you want the reboot to happen. 2. Condition the dialog on the ReplacedInUseFiles property. That should work, if not use MsiGetMode() to see if a reboot is pending. However Windows Installer will show a dialog anyway and offer the reboot choice, if that is sufficient for you. Otherwise you might get two, yours and the Windows one. --------------- Phil Wilson On Tue, Mar 10, 2015 at 1:11 PM, Ivanoff, Alex <alex.ivan...@shavlik.com> wrote: > I have two questions related to reboots. > > 1.
