ForceReboot During Uninstallation
Hi,
During the uninstallation of our product a reboot (possibly multiple ones) is required. I was thinking of using the ForceReboot standard action but it just doesn't behave the way I want it. Either after rebooting the installation (not the uninstallation) resumes or I get some strange errors about an installation in progress. I suspect the ForceReboot action is meant to be used during the installation part only. I did try to change my code to reboot during installation instead and that works, but that's not what I want to achieve.
Has anybody ever been able to accomplish this? Is there another or better way of doing this?
Thanks
Nic
