[mapguide-internals] Initial RC1 Build?

[Jackie Ng]

Ah I see that I misread your previous post :-)

I'm sure there's a way to do this. The reboot action is governed by two
conditions:

1) The product is not installed

- AND -

2) The CS-Map product feature is not installed

We should be able to slip a 3rd condition in, whose boolean value can be
toggled by a UI prompt. A condition value that evaluates to false, should
avoid the scheduled reboot.

But going back to my original topic, assuming that pre-2.1 installers set a
system environment variable for Proj.4 (I'm sure it did), my original
question still stands. How am I able to install MGOS 2.0.x, 1.2, etc without
needing to reboot?
