SP & Reboot....
Background:
I need to check for a service pack before proceeding with an installation in both Windows 2000 (SP2), and Windows NT (SP 6a). If the service packs are not there - I want to give an option to the user to initialize the required SP ( I have included them in the CD), THEN continue with the installation. I know this would be best executed if the SP is not there with a dialog box, where No would exit the program, and Yes would allow SP to initialize.
Question:
1. How am I assured that the SP is/not there? (I assume ONE of the many reg entries... just not sure which one is best for all systems.)
2. Once SP is installed, how do I make sure my installation can proceed after re-boot "seamlessly"? (Can AutoPlay re-initialize upon re-boot, without having the user manually open and close the CD-Drive ?)
