If you require that kind of control I would suggest scripting out the
process using a combination of startup/logon scripts like so:
1) Computer startup script that installs the (1) Components. After
successful installation the script places a flag file (ie.
C:\temp\step1complete.txt) in a predetermined location.
2) Logon script that looks for the presence of the file created by the
script in Step 1. If it's there, create another new flag file
(C:\temp\step2complete.txt) and then force a reboot.
3) A second startup script looks for the file created in Step 2, and if
present, installs your (2) Workshare Pro application.

Subject: [gptalk] Prereq...
Hi...
Quick question... I have been looking around on the forums but couldnt
really see an answer for this.
I have 2 GP's which install software...
1. Components (Visual C++ MSI, MSXML 6 Parser MSI, .NET FW Update MSI)
2. Application (Workshare Pro)
1. needs to be installed 1st the machine, user logs in then it needs to
be rebooted then 2 needs to be installed.
Is the easiest way of doing this is installing 1 on day 1 and 2 on day 2
by manually assigning the GP's? or can this be automated,
ie is there some sort of way of setting 1. as a pre req of 2...
Or.. is this just getting too complicated....
