However many machines as well when installing the MSDE 2000, it ask the user that it needs to be reinstalled, Even if I select "NO" to restart, it still restart. When restarting the PC, my wise installaiton package get screw up because it was interrupted.My questions:Why sometimes MSDE 2000 ask to restart?Can I tell in advance whether the MSDE 2000 will be asking for reboot, if yes, I may prevent My installaiton error because I will make the installaiton aware of the reboot.Propably there is a file or registery key that I can searc for and found out whether the MSDE will be asking for reboot or not.Thanks" |

| If you're using the msi installer for MSDE and the target computer needs to update the Windows Installer before installing MSDE, that usually causes a reboot, and is one condition that will cause a reboot on some machines and not others.======Doug G====== |
