Severity
Warning
Message
This Windows Installer database contains ForceReboot action that may run on Windows [VERSION] (Table: InstallExecuteSequence, Key: ForceReboot).
Background
The ForceReboot action prompts the user for a restart of the system during the installation. If the installation is displaying a user interface, the installation shows a dialog at each ForceReboot action; the dialog prompts the user to restart the system. The user must respond to this prompt before continuing with the installation. If the installation has no user interface, the system automatically restarts at the ForceReboot action. When Windows Installer determines that a restart is necessary, it automatically prompts the user to restart at the end of the installation, regardless of whether there are any ForceReboot or ScheduleReboot actions in the sequence.
Resolution
The following resolutions are available.
Manual Fix
A condition that suppresses the ForceReboot action on the specified Windows operating system systems should be added.
This fix is enabled by default.
Basic Auto Fix
A condition is added to the ForceReboot action to disable the action on Windows systems; this is done through a Windows Installer transform.
Advanced Auto Fix
No resolution is available.
