2.08 stops installing dlls after it queues one for reboot
In 2.06 it appears to queue for reboot and dll/ocx in use, then keeps going and installs what it can.
In 2.08 and 2.09 (based on same scripts) installer gets as far as queueing one ocx for install on reboot, and does not install or register anything else.
That is what it looks like it is doing. Is there a flag that can help?

Just to be more clear, in both cases, it installs and registers several dlls. Then it hits one, queues it (install on reboot). In 2.06 it continues with others that do not need queueing, while 2.08 or 2.09 do not continue with other dlls, though app executable gets installed.

This is done to make sure the DLLs that are installed later will be properly installed. If the DLLs that are installed after the queued DLL depend on the queued DLL, they may fail installing without the queued DLL installed first.
