What are the ways to disable a restart
After the uninstall of an application, machine gets restarted automatically. I have already played around with all properties which disable machine restart like:
MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL = Disable, REBOOT = ReallySuppress, REBOOTPROMPT = S
Still no success.. :(
please help.

RebootYesNo=No
For Nuance PDF Converter i am sure you should delete the custom action for REBOOT. Because It deletes the printer installed by the application. Please check under Installation > Execute > Reboot Custom Action..

There is no such property as RebootYesNo=Yes. However, I have seen this in many msi's. Will look out for it in future for sure - s_techie 12 years ago

Is this a built in property or a user defined / customized one? just asking this out of enthusiasm.. I'm an amateur in terms of packaging.. - s_techie 12 years ago
Are you doing this with an MSI or other setup.exe? What does the vendor say - have you checked their documentation? Many times, if it's a setup.exe, you can find out what syntax the exe uses to disable restarting. If it's an MSI, check the property and custom action tables to see if there's a non-standard reboot property or action to reboot.
