I've built a setup.exe in c# that runs several chained MSI's (with the /QUIET /NORESTART ). At the end I'd like to check if a reboot is needed in the machine (that is, if one of the MSI's requested a reboot).
How can I detect so?

The following registry key has the information:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations

I have a machine without PendingFileRenameOperations showing the little shield in the "Shut down" button. How come?

Doesn't that shield in the shutdown button mean "Install updates and shutdown"? That's not equivalent to a required restart.

ok... do you know then how to detect taht shield? I put that as a separate question and someone complained that it was a duplicate of this one :-)
