If your driver isn't stoppable, both SCM and InstallHinfSection will mark the driver as pending deleted and remove it during the next boot. You should prompt for a reboot at the end of an uninstall. You can use the WcaUtil functions WcaDeferredActionRequiresReboot and WcaDidDeferredActionRequireReboot to create and check for an atom to block install. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
