Finish dialog not appearing after installation

[asif0012]

Hi, I am facing a problem using "mongorestore" to import data to MongoDB by Powershell inline script custom action. Data gets imported but "Finish Dialog" and "Reboot Prompt" doesn't appear after the installation is finished.

I have an installer that imports data to MongoDB using "mongorestore" by a PowerShell inline script custom action. The system has MongoDB (5.0.4 2008R2Plus) and MongoDB Tools (100.6.1) already installed beforehand. But after running the PS custom action, data gets imported to MongoDB but "Finish Dialog" doesn't appear at the end of the installation. I also use the property "Force Reboot After Install", The reboot prompt after finishing installation also doesn't appear after running this custom action.

Code: Select all

Param($baseDirectory)

$appDataDirectory = $baseDirectory.SubString(0, $baseDirectory.Length-1)

$coreDataPath = "$appDataDirectory\SeedData\mongodb\Data\2c88465c-f791-4b36-9dda-e2af38f11258"
$sampleDataPath = "$appDataDirectory\SeedData\mongodb\Data\SampleDatabase02"

$executablePath = "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Tools\100\bin\mongorestore.exe"

$coreDataProcess = Start-Process -FilePath "$executablePath" -ArgumentList "--db=`"2c88465c-f791-4b36-9dda-e2af38f11258`"","`"$coreDataPath`"" -PassThru -Wait

$sampleDataProcess = Start-Process -FilePath "$executablePath" -ArgumentList "--db=`"SampleDatabase02`"","`"$sampleDataPath`"" -PassThru -Wait

Hello,

Most likely, this has nothing to do with your PowerShell script, but rather something else.

For instance, in the "Dialogs" page, under "First time install", do you have the "ExitDlg"?

If the dialog is there, then make sure the "Run finish actions without displaying this dialog" option is NOT checked.

Hope this helps!

Hi Catalin,
I reinvestigated the issue. It is indeed not related to the Powershell script but also not related to ExitDialog checkbox. I think it is related to "Force Reboot After Install" property selected in the Installer Parameters section. After selecting this parameter, FinishDialog and Reboot Prompt both disappears. I want to force show a "Reboot Prompt" after exiting the Finish Dialog. How can I achieve this behavior?

I have attached a sample AIP file that replicates the Finish Dialog disappear behavior.

Hello,

Thank you for the provided AIP file.

I was indeed able to replicate this with your project.

After further tests, I noticed this is due to the "Fast installation - optimized file costing and copy, indeterminate process" option from the "Install Paramaeters" page.

Could you please remove that option and let me know if everything is working as expected?

Best regards,
Catalin
