Hi,

I'v created a web setup project and i want to restart the computer (not the IIS service)

Hi,

The answer is to use the MSI standard action "ForceReboot" to force reboot. Open the resulting MSI package withOrca and sequence the ForceReboot actionbetween InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize in the action sequence of the InstallExecuteSequence table.

For more information on the ForceReboot standard action, refer to the following document:

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu
