Reboots in Software Sets

Software sets are great, but if you create one to deploy a multi session installation (requiring several reboots in between) this can be a challenge ...

The reason why your components, despite the fact that you tell it to "reboot immediately", does not roboot the system is, that the default reboot setting on your SET is "no reboot required"

When studing the log files you will see, that the immediate reboot request of your component package stopps the execution of your set and is actually going for it, but then NI also finishes up handling your set which wraps you component installation and since the setting on the set is "no reboot required" it clears the restart flag ... dow!

So simply set your SET to "Software controlled" and it will do the job just fine.
