I assume Rob was speaking of WcaDoDeferredAction. If you are writing a CA in
C, I would defiantly be using wcautil.lib as it provides a framework for
handling native custom actions.
Ex:
EXPORT UINT __stdcall MyCA(MSIHANDLE hInstall)
{
HRESULT hr = S_OK;
UINT er = ERROR_SUCCESS;
hr = WcaInitialize(hInstall, "MyCA");
ExitOnFailure(hr, "Failed to initialize");
WcaLog(LOGMSG_STANDARD, "Initialized.");
if (Foo()) {
hr = WcaSetProperty(Foo_Property, TEXT("Bar"));
ExitOnFailure(hr, "Failed to SetProperty for Foo");
}
LExit:
er = SUCCEEDED(hr) ? ERROR_SUCCESS : ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE;
return WcaFinalize(er);
}

Rob,
Can you be more specific? I am not that familiar with wcautil.lib.

MsiDoAction() on ScheduleReboot might work - I'm not sure if that's the
underlying method that Rob is referring to.
