Our default installation offers an option (checkbox) on the exit dialog to log off the user (we need to reset some security thing, I'm told). However, if during the installation a scenario occurs in which a reboot is required (files in use, etc.), we don't need to offer that option, as rebooting has the same effect.
Ideally what we'd like to do is change the checkbox text on the exit dialog to read "reboot now" (or something like that) if a reboot is required, rather than our default text of "logoff now". If the user checks the box, we'd suppress the built-in "reboot required" dialog and execute our own reboot action. We have discovered that we can delete the REBOOT property in order to accomplish the later behavior, but we are unsure if this breaks something else with in the installer. Another option would be to leave the exit dialog alone (don't show the checkbox), but allow us to somehow force a similar dialog to the small "reboot required" that contains text suggesting a logoff is required. Any suggestions on how we might accomplish this goal?
