I tried some different shutdown commands with different syntax, but I couldn't get it to work for me, however, while googling for different options to stop the reboot, I found a very cool tiny free tool that stopped it. Unfortunately it doesn't work from the command line, and has to be installed already, it is called ShutdownGuard, I read about it at this link.

I had a patch to our encryption product that was forcing a reboot. When that step would run, it would reboot in about 10 seconds but it would return control to the TS. I added an immediate restart step right after the patch and the restart step kicks off before the patch forces the reboot. It works!

This was shared by one of my colleagues and I also thought it awesome idea. He was having issue with one driver restarting a TS.

I would like to install all 4 MSIs in a specific order and in one session, however, I cannot stop the reboot on the first MSI. I have tried the following command line options but they didn't work. I also tried using Orca to modify the following value in the MSI and it didn't work: Tables->Property->RebootYesNo->No msiexec.exe /i "Calabrio Monitoring and Recording Recording.msi" /qb! REBOOTYESNO=NO /NORESTART REBOOT=ReallySuppress I suspect the reason I can't stop the reboot is because the MSI extracts and runs other. MSIs/.exes during installation, and that 2nd MSI is not seeing my command line options. Do you guys have any tricks that may help me stop the reboot of this MSI? Does anyone know of any other values I should change using Orca in the MSI? Thanks.
