[wix-devs] windows updates/upgrades

[Christopher Painter]

I believe that only gets triggered on PendingFileRenameOperations.   I thought the original question was a broader detect everything pending not just pending reboots.

Windows Installer automatically sets a property named MsiSystemRebootPending, IIRC. No CA needed

I do think it is used in Burn to set the RestartRequired (or whatever it is called) variable. Could be used in a CA but I don't think such exists today.

Interesting.  I never leared C++ on Windows so I never use that library.     Does that logic get surfaced anywhere else such as extension to enable a <PropertyRef Id="WuaRestartRequred" />   That would be a neat feature to use with a Condition if it did.

dutil.lib has wuautil.h that has WuaRestartRequired().

Anyone know if there is a way to detect windows pending updates (or major
upgrades) pending via WiX?
