Restart check box not working

[phainge]

Hi,

I've followed the "Restart machine after install" How To, but it's not working, the restart check box has no effect. I notice that someone had this same problem a while back and was told that the How To is incorrect and that the only way this will work is to force a reboot and have the check box disable this. Is this still the case?

Thanks.

Hi Peter,

Yes, the how-to contains a mistake. It will be fixed in the next release. In your project you can try this:
- modify the property of the reboot checkbox to "REBOOT_CHECK" (for example)
- select the "Finish" button on "ExitDialog"
- create this "SetProperty" published control event:

Code: Select all

[REBOOT]       Force        AI_INSTALL AND REBOOT_CHECK

This will set the "REBOOT" property to "Force" if the reboot checkbox is checked.

Hi Cosmin,

That works thanks, although it triggers display of an additional Windows Installer restart confirmation dialog. Is there any way to supress that extra dialog and just do the restart?

Hi Peter,

You can try setting the REBOOTPROMPT property to:

Code: Select all

Supress

This should make the package perform the reboot automatically, without prompting the user. You can set the property in the "Install Parameters" page.
