Reboot after Install
I am using Installshield 2009 and I have a requirement for the user's PC to be rebooted after the application has installed. There is no alternative since there is a Windows service that has changed during the install and MUST be restarted in order for the update to take effect.
I cannot see anywhere in the "Installation Designer" where I would set a property or flag or whatever it takes to do the reboot. The only thing I can see is under Behavior and Logic -> Property Manager is a property named "RebootYesNo" and it is set to "yes" however, it does not tell me any more.
How can i get the user PC to reboot????

I'd suggest looking at the ScheduleReboot standard action in your Install Execute sequence. You can either set the property which it's currently conditioned on, or you can tweak its condition.

Thank you for the help. I couldn't find that information anywhere and was about to give up.
