Hi,
Thanks for your reply, the post you mentioned contains the following: "There's a Wix built-in custom action called "WixCheckRebootRequired" that runs after instalfinalize. An examination of the source code for that might help you work out how it's done if there are no quick answers on here. Perhaps the deferred actions set a flag (like a global atom) that's checked ouside the script execution phase in that CA." In this they have mentioned that there might be "global atom" to set a flag (In Red color). Is there any option like that? Please help me to know this, I am wasting too much of time for finding this answer. Thanks and Regards, Ananda.

D . Our driver Installation package has developed using WIX. We used "dpinst.exe" to install drivers in a C# Custom Action DLL. Dpinst returns a value about the status of the drivers installed, it may have "Restart". I got the values successfully in C# CA. But I need to inform the WIX to restart the computer after installation of whole package. I am using the following line to restart the computer after installation. <ScheduleReboot After="InstallFinalize">RebootRequired = "true"</ScheduleReboot> The "RebootRequired" property can set in CA if it is called as "immediate" but if is called as "deferred". We must call that CA as "deferred". Is there any way to return a Boolean or String value from C# deferred CA to WIX? It may help us for other CA also. Awaiting for reply. Thanks and Regards, Ananda.
