Asking for reboot after unistalling

I do not know what system component is poping up this message. It's not WixSharp. I am not even sure it is an MSI. It might be even the Windows service manager.

Sorry, I do not know any way to suppress it.

Hallo, AFAIK if windows service uninsatll service, you have to reboot system. I think, some handle or registry key are set for specific windows service and will be update AFTER reboot of system. "Normally" work of windows. There is one strange source from Stackoverlow, that means, it can be done.

Never tried , there is no particular reasons, why reboot of system may not happens.

Yes indeed. The uninstalling services only become complete after reboot. Between uninstalling and rebooting the service is kinda in the "marked for deletion state" (kinda undead).
You cannot start it and you cannot delete it from the registry. Only reboot transfers it to the final "deleted" state.

Thus while suspending the message box is theoretically possible, it does not really brings significant value.
