You have to call the Windows API Function ExitWindowsEx...

Good example code can be found at

i would recommend avoiding creating your own installer, in any programming language, but especially VB. try inno setup ( http;//jrsoftware.org ) or nullsoft install system ( http://nsis.sourceforge.net )

Make sure you get all the runtime DLLs. DO NOT pull them from your system folders, though. This is a VERY BAD IDEA.
