SYMPTOMS
You configure the Config.xml file to prevent
the computer from restarting after you install the 2007 Microsoft Office system.
However, the computer still prompts you to restart.
For example, you
modify the following
Setting Id element in the Config.xml file.
<Setting Id="Reboot" Value="Never" />
However, the computer still prompts you to restart when you use this
Config.xml file to deploy the 2007 Office system.
Note The default setting for the
Setting Id element in the Config.xml file is as follows.
<Setting Id="Reboot" Value="IfNeeded" />

section shows this incorrect syntax.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use the following syntax to
correctly configure the Setup restart behavior.
<Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="Never" />
The "Never" value makes sure that you are not prompted to restart and that the restart process does not occur automatically.
The values that you can configure for the
SETUP_REBOOT property are as follows:
| • | AutoAlways: Always initiate a restart. Do not prompt the user. |
| • | Always: Always prompt for a restart at the end of setup. |
| • | IfNeeded: Prompt for a restart at the end of setup if setup requires a
restart.
Note This is the default setting. |
| • | AutoIfNeeded: Initiate a restart if setup requires a restart. Do not prompt
the user. |
| • | Never: Never initiate or prompt for a restart. |
