Hi,

How can suppress this restart message at end on a silent installation.

The executing args are /QUIET /norestart /L*V c:\SorbaSetup\21.3.109.log

Do you have a hint?
Thank you.

Regards,

Hello Derrin,

You can try to go to "Install Parameters" page and set the "Reboot behavior" to either:

- "Suppress reboot after install, except for ForceReboot actions"

or:

- "Suppress all Reboots and Reboot prompts"

Hope this helps!

Hi Catalin,
Thanks for the response.
This is unfortunately not a solution for us. Because on normal installation there should this prompt visible.
I am just wondering why even though I set /quiet or /qn any prompt is visible.
This is not a nice behavior in an unattended deployment chain ;-)
Regards,
Derrin

Hello Derrin,

I see.

If that is the case, then perhaps we can make use of either the REBOOT property or the REBOOTPROMPT property.

Now it depends on what you want to achieve. If you would like to completely suppress the reboot, please use the REBOOT property. This way, the machine should not restart after the installation.

On the other hand, if you would like to only suppress the prompt, but the machine to still restart, you can use the REBOOTPROMPT property.

You can set this from the command line, as explained in the following article:

MsiExec.exe Command Line

-->

Set public properties section

Hope this helps!

Hi Catalin,

This unfortunately does not work. I have sent a mail to support@advancedinstaller.com with aip and log.
But I did not receive any answer.
Do you have received that mail?

Regards,
Derrin

Hello Derrin,

I have had a look over our inbox and it looks like there isn't any email from you.

The only email from your address is the one to which I already replied (linking to this forum thread).

If possible, could you please retry to send me the .AIP file. Additionally, if you can also forward me a download link for your setup so I can test this on our end, that would be great.

That reboot prompt is not really controlled by us, so I can not say for sure I might be able to help, but I will try to further investigate this.

Best regards,
Catalin

Hello Derrin,

I can confirm I received the email this time.

I will follow you up over the email once I'm done investigating.
