Is it possible to prompt for restarting the machine after installation using WiX?
Windows Installer XML Toolset (WiX, pronounced "wicks"), is a free software toolset that builds Windows Installer packages from XML. It consists of a command-line environment that developers may integrate into their build processes to build MSI and MSM packages.
Yes. See the documentation for the REBOOT
property in Windows Installer.
i.e.:
<Property Id="REBOOT"><![CDATA[Force]]></Property>
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='windows-1252'?>
<Wix xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi'>
<Product
Name = 'Sample App'
Id = 'PRODUCT-GUID-HERE'
UpgradeCode = 'UPGRADE-GUID-HERE'
Language = '1033'
Version = 'YOUR-APP-VERSION-HERE'
Manufacturer = 'YOU!'>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<ScheduleReboot After="InstallFinalize"/>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
</Product>
</Wix>
I think I got it.
