Windows service requests reboot some servers

In the service explorer find your service, right click it, and choose properties. In the properties window click the recovery tab.

thanks wild bill for your reply.

that tab allows me to control what my service does in the event on an error.

what i need to determine is why my server, at the last dialog of my service installation, prompted for a reboot. my installation package must of requested a change somewhere, a registry change, another module startup, a registration, something. i am sure it could be many reasons. how might i determine which?
