Subject: [WiX-users] Conditionally scheduling a reboot in a deferred
customaction DLL

Hi,



We've built a custom DLL for our WiX-powered installer because our
product has a pretty complicated install sequence. Our custom DLL runs
as a deferred custom action since it modifies system files, etc.. The
problem we're facing is that since our DLL does the heavy lifting of
registering our files, it also knows when a reboot is required after the
installation has completed.



Since deferred custom actions cannot set properties that get picked up
by e.g. <ScheduleReboot>, I'm a little puzzled as to how to communicate
the reboot flag back to the installer.



Does anyone have ideas or a recommended practice for doing something
like this?



Thanks,

Soren
