I need my installer to reboot after completion, with a message to the user.

How does one set the installer flag ($SB_RESTARTFLAG$)? I see the dialog in
the Help, but how do I get there?

Alternatively, if I use the script, where do I insert the Reboot/Resume
script function.

Wherever you need the reboot in your script.

Wherever you want. To avoid a reboot message (even if your install needs a
reboot) you have to set it at the end of the script. If you would like to
programmatically trigger a reboot after the installation process (even if
you did NOT replace a locked file and a reboot is not strictly required)
then you can do it at the beginning of the script, in the middle, wherever
you want.
