Hi,
I was able to get aound the issue using a dummy custom action that sets a
dummy property.
*<Product ...>
<Property Id="DummyProperty" Value='1' />*
* <CustomAction Id="DummyAction" Property="DummyProperty" Value="2" />
<InstallExecuteSequence>
........
<ScheduleReboot>NOT Installed</ScheduleReboot>*
* <Custom Action="DummyAction" After="InstallValidate" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
</Product>*
**
And then I added a CustomActionRef to the DummyAction in the patch.
This works. But the solution seems hackish.
I tried but could not find a way to refernce ScheduleRebootAction from the
patch.
I am just repeating myself... Is there any way to reference a standard
action from the patch?
1 more thing.....
The above solution worked only if I change the condion for ScheduleReboot
action.
However, if we want to *delete* the ScheduleReboot action then it does not
work (Even after applying the patch ScheduleReboot action exists in the
InstallExecuteSequence table). Can there be any specific reason for this?
Regards
Abhijit
