问题
I am working on a project where several software and drivers are installed on a windows 7 PC. This shall work without user inputs.
Now there is the question: How can I determine in this program if a reboot is required to finish an installation (can be driver or software).
We are working on Windows 7 embedded and there is no taskbar enabled or any tooltips or something like this visible. Software is installed in silent mode.
回答1:
Use the following registry key:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations
Source: How to find out if an MSI I just installed requested a windows reboot?
As discovered by the asker of this question HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\RebootPending shows when a reboot is pending on the machine as long as the OS is Vista or newer.
回答2:
The "PendingReboot" module incorporates all the mentioned tests (+ CCM WMI probe) into a single convenient cmdlet to reliably detect pending reboot:
# Install
Install-Module -Name PendingReboot
# Run
Test-PendingReboot -Detailed

After a long research I found a way how to query pending restarts with a native Windows DLL directly in a .NET application. The main problem is that there can be many reasons why Windows has to restart. In addition, the Windows version sometimes also plays a role.
During the research I came across an article describing various scripts in the Windows Update environment, such as determining whether the automatic updates service is enabled or a computer needs to be rebooted. There you will find a reference to the Microsoft.Update.SystemInfo Object, which finally led to ISystemInformation interface having the method ISystemInformation::get_RebootRequired (Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether a system restart is required to complete the installation or uninstallation of one or more updates.).
