Script not forcing a reboot

# Test for installed VPN clients
[version]$MyAppVer00 = Get-InstalledApplication 'Check Point VPN-1' | select 'DisplayVersion' -expand 'DisplayVersion'
[version]$MyAppVer01 = Get-InstalledApplication 'Check Point VPN' -Exact | select 'DisplayVersion' -expand 'DisplayVersion'

# Remove VPN Clients
If ($MyAppVer01 -ne $null){
Write-Log -Text 'Removing Check Point VPN...' -LogType 'Legacy'
Remove-MSIApplications -Name 'Check Point VPN' -Exact
}
If ($MyAppVer00 -ne $null){
Write-Log -Text 'Removing Check Point VPN-1...' -LogType 'Legacy'
Remove-MSIApplications -Name 'Check Point VPN-1'
Restart-Computer -Force
}

[version]$MyAppVer00 = Get-InstalledApplication 'Check Point VPN-1' | select 'DisplayVersion' -expand 'DisplayVersion'
[version]$MyAppVer01 = Get-InstalledApplication 'Check Point VPN' -Exact | select 'DisplayVersion' -expand 'DisplayVersion'

If ($MyAppVer00 -eq $null -and $MyAppVer01 -eq $null){
Write-Log -Text 'Installing CheckPointVPN_SYD1...' -LogType 'Legacy'
Execute-MSI -Action Install -Path 'CheckPointVPN.msi'
}

So we basically have two versions of Check Point VPN installed and I need to:
Remove Check Point VPN
Remove Check Point VPN-1
Reboot
Install Check Point VPN

I’m running this in our computer startup script and it seems to just skip the “Restart-Computer -Force” command and then hang on the install as it needs a reboot after the uninstall Check Point VPN-1.

If the target computer only has Check Point VPN-1, then the script works and reboots the computer.

What am I doing wrong?

I moved all “Remove VPN Clients” code into the Uninstallation section and used two command lines in the startup script, one to call the “Uninstall” DeploymentType and the other for the “Install”- which seems to work and forces the reboot after the “Uninstall”.
