Does anyone know how to Enable the Windows Update restart now/restart later dialog?

I have a software update that needs to be installed, however we do not want a forced reboot, but need the user to reboot relatively quickly. The easiest way to get them to reboot is the windows update reboot dialog which is a "NAG" dialog that will continue to popup until the user reboots the machine.

Can anyone discover how to do that in Setup Builder?

Thanks for the help.

Kel,

Unfortunately, the update "NAG" screen is exclusive to MS Windows Update and it can't be triggered from an application installation.

Kel,

not really an alternative, but it displays an official Windows restart dialog (see attached screenshot).

That is actually an excellent alternative, I did not even consider it. Thank you for slapping me in the head.....
