Graceful restart after installation

[UncleRonin]

After installing an application I'd like to prompt the user to restart the computer. I've checked online and here in the forums but I haven't been able to find anything for this yet.

Any ideas?

I've been looking for months now, and also a way to start the process (under the user's account not SYSTEM) after installation...

Pass the install directory (via custom actions) to an installer class (dll)...

You need a setup project for this (requires VS Professional)

NOTE: This does not work with ClickOnce installers...

Cheers

A temp why you can do is use the cmd commands.
use Streamwriter
do
::CODE::
StreamWriter.writeline("Shutdown -r -t")

Thanks, I know the code, but it doesn't look nice when your installing, it shuts down before your application finishes installing
