Well, with P&D you can modify its source code to reboot at the end of your setup. It doen't give you any other options. The source code is in the same directory where the executable is. If you are comfortable with InstallShield, you can use it with much greater effect for the same purpose.

Installshield has an option to select the project file(.vbp file of your project). The wizard it presents at the startup is quite helpful. Just in few steps you will be able to make a simple setup package. Once you have done that, you will be presented with a list of tasks. Somewhere in the list, you will find "Installshield Extensions". Use this fetaure to run your program at the end of your installation. Or from the "Dialog Box" option in the same list, just force the computer to reboot.

If the process becomes quite complex, just try one step at a time.
