[mapguide-internals] Initial RC1 Build?

[Crispin_at_1Spatial]

Jackie,

As is implied in Kenneth's reply, it is not the reboot that is the problem -
I can schedule that and cope with the need.  Why reboot?... IISRESET picks
up most changes - is it the service needing the PATH change for CS-Map?  I
would have thought this was picked up on the service restart...

Anyway I digress... the issue with the RC1 installer is that there is no
warning or option, at the end of the install process the reboot kicks in. 
You can sneakily leave an edited TXT file open in notepad to force a user
interface catch but ideally the installer should ask/warn.

Thanks - Crispin
