    Forcefully logout/reboot

    Hi,
    I am using InstallShield Premier 11.0 and working with Universal (.uip) projects. Can anybody guide me how to logout/reboot the system even if i am not updating environment variables. Help says that Reboot and Logout dialog box can only work only if environment variables are updated on target system. I need to logout the user as I am updating some plist file on MAC OS X platform. Is there any way by which i can do the same. By means of some custom actions/conditions or anything else.
    Please help.

    thanks in advance.

    regards:
    Kantas

    If you click the "get more actions" link on the Insert Wizard Beans panel, I believe you can download a "set reboot required" action, which flips the internal switch indicating a reboot is required at the end of the installation.

    thanks for the reply RobertDickau,
    I have checked the link, but it only serves the purpose for windows platform only. I need the same for MAC OS X too. I know Reboot is not possible for MAC OS X , that is clearly mentioned in help, so i need to logout the user for MAC OS X after installation.
    Please guide.

    thanks in advance.

    Can you modify that code to flip the logout-required switch with setLogoutRequired?
