Software Deployment

Although I am sure there are more complex (and perhaps better) ways to go about it- you might consider using a custom action to call "shutdown.exe" with the appropriate switches. Shutdown is available in Windows resource kits or natively in the OS (depending on the version of Windows). There are other command line utilities that do the same. By suppressing the reboot by the MSI and calling this command as a custom action- I think you will get what you are looking for.

Thanks bob,
But as per our client's standards, we are not supposed to use Shutdown.exe. Further we have two VbScripts ready. we are able to restart the system when the user clicks the OK Button. This has been achieved by using a DoAction event for that button. But If the user doesn't click the button, we need to run a VBScript simultaneously so that the dialog is displayed and after 10 minutes, the system restarts.
When i try to perform this action after the ExecuteAction in the Sequence, the system displays the dialog but this VBScript is not triggered. Do let me know how it can be resolved?

thanks in advance for your valuable suggestions...

Have a nice day..
