pause installation through reboot

Is it possible to pause an installation reboot and resume the installation? I have an application which requires indexing service to be running instead of windows search to switch requires a reboot.

What kind of project are you using (MSI or InstallScript)? If there's truly no way to avoid the reboot (often there is), MSI for one provides a ForceReboot action you can use...

This project is set up as a Basic MSI. The powers that be wish it to stay in that form. If windows search is running there is no way to avoid a reboot to make it compatable as indexing service.

The OnRebooted event handler can help with that.
