Technically you told SMS not to expect a reboot when the app exited.
You can tell SMs to reboot the machine. If you do SMs will not execute any more programs and will send a shutdown boradcast to the system
If you tell it program reboots computer SMS will wait 60 seconds after the program exits to see if the program calls a reboot. If the app does not call a reboot within 60 seconds SMS will continue with the next app. BUT it will not report a FINAL success for the install until after the machine is rebooted and it looks ofr a success mif.
If you tell it no action required SMs will use the exit code from the app to determine final success and will immediately send a success or failure status message (depends on the exit code of the app)
You need to tell the program not to ask for a reboot by specifying it on the command line - the option you set controls SMS, not the actual file being installed.
for the converter pack
Oconvpck.exe is an IExpress package that automatically installs the converters from compressed files. To extract the files from the package without starting an installation, you use two command-line options, /T and /C. The /T option instructs the IExpress package what permanent folder to use to store the package files. The /C option instructs the IExpress package to not attempt to install the files, but to extract them to the folder specified by /T.
see this http://www.appdeploy.com/packages/detail.asp?id=933
So extract the msi file and run it with a /q REBOOT=ReallySuppress or /q /norestart
here are the windows insataller command line switches

Our SMS server is SMS 2003 SP2. I'm pushing the Office Compatibility
Pack (OCP) to 100 clients. I created a Package for OCP. After that I
created a program for OCP with the General Settings to "No action
required" after running. I then created a Advertisement for the
package. After rolling out the package to the sms clients, 44 of the
clients had to reboot their workstations. Why did this happen if I
suppressed the reboot by specifying "No action required"
