Check reboot required for installation

Question

I'm developing installer and I need somehow to check system reboot after previous uninstallation. Ideally, I want to store some registry key, which will remove self after system reboot and which I can check during installation start. Is there any way to do this? Thanks.

Answer 1

It sounds like you're looking for the functionality found in the RunOnce registry key. It'll kick off a program when Windows starts and delete the registry entry for you.
