Why does my installer always prompt for reboot?

Some action might be setting the REBOOT property. You should be able to see that in the log. The most common reason is probably files in use.

I don't know why the original code was failing but I have ended up settling on the following which only does a reboot on upgrade or uninstall.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
