Re: Reboot message after installation Originally Posted by linder Mark, Get System Info -> Reboot Status. It lets you determine whether the system should be restarted. Returns "1" if the system should be restarted. BTW, all (or most of) your files are locked. So I think your application is "in-use" (active) when you do the update. You can test this BEFORE the file installation is performed if you would like to avoid a reboot. Friedrich That's a big help, thanks.

Re: Reboot message after installation Is there a flag or variable I can check to see if this condition exists?
Re: Reboot message after installation Mark, If a file to be replaced is locked (in-use) then Windows needs a reboot. It only requests a reboot if the file can't be replaced because exclusive write access is not possible (file is locked/in-use). You can very easily check this. If the reboot message comes up, simply check the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager->PendingFileRenameOperations http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../cc960241.aspx There you'll find the file(s) that need(s) to be replaced at next reboot. As far as I can see, all kind of files are locked in your case: M:\MuniSoft\SM\SM_DATA.dll M:\MuniSoft\SM\C60ASCX.DLL M:\MuniSoft\SM\C60CLAX.DLL M:\MuniSoft\SM\C60DOSX.DLL M:\MuniSoft\SM\C60MSSX.DLL M:\MuniSoft\SM\C60RUNX.DLL M:\MuniSoft\SM\C60TPSX.DLL M:\MuniSoft\SM\LSPUZIPX.DLL and more... Hope this helps. Friedrich
Reboot message after installation I have an installation that "sometimes" displays a "This system must be restarted to complete the installation" message after it is done. How can I tell what part of the installation generates this condition? We done run one or more external installs that are "chained" as part of the overall installation - could one of them be returning the "reboot required" condition? I've attached the log file from the last run that generated the message.
