Installation problem sql server 2008

Question

I should probably take this for a forum but figured someone here might know the answer. I'm trying to install sql server 2008 on a home vista machine but it keeps telling 'Restart computer failed' everytime it does a check to make sure pre-reqs are met. I've restarted my computer and even uinstalled/installed .net 3.5 sp1.
only thread i found about this was: http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx?postid=3656807&siteid=1&sb=0&d=1&at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=1

the last post on that forum states that there is a way to 'forcefully' (using command prompt) there is a way to bypass the reboot check.

does anyone know what commands can be used to bypass the rebook check??

Solution

An easiest solution is installing by command line ignoring this verification:

setup.exe /ACTION=INSTALL /SkipRules=RebootRequiredCheck
