I have an install that puts down MSDE and creates a database. On windows 9x
machines, it seems that I can't attach anything to this database until after
I reboot. I would like to force a reboot directly after the installation of
the MSDE on Version9x and then continue with the rest of the install after
the reboot, but can't figure out how to do it.

Any help available?

The MSI help file has quite a lot of information on forcing and handling
reboots.

For more information, see the following topics in the helpfile:
"ForceReboot Action"
"ScheduleReboot Action"
"REBOOT Property"
"System Reboots"
"AFTERREBOOT Property"

I read these topics and though I found lots of information on how these
work, or rather why these work, I wasn't able to find anything on how to
trigger a ForceReboot Action. It's not one of my choices in the custom
action wizard, etc...
