Shutdown /r /t 1 Thanks, mark Hi,

You don’t need to edit the MSI to force a reboot

Simply use the REBOOT=Force parameter on the command line

i.e. MSIEXEC /i MS_FWC.MSI REBOOT=Force

If you are going to run a batch file installing a number of products, then rebooting at the end, then use REBOOT=ReallySuppress

i.e.

msiexec /i prod1.msi REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qn
msiexec /i prod2.msi REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qn
.
.
.
Shutdown /r /t 1

Thanks,

mark
