Repackager and Reboot Not Working

Hello,

I have a legacy installer that requires a reboot. Unfortunately, the Repackager is not capturing the reboot correctly. When the setp program gets to the "Yes I want to resart my computer now..." screen, if I restart, Repackager does not run again. If at that screen I ALT-TAB to the Repackager, only the FINISH button is available. In other words, it thinks the install is complete, and I end up with a half-complete capture (for example, it doesn't capture the files at all).

Is there something I can do to fix this behavior? I really need to re-pack this legacy 16-bit installer.

Repackager Reboot

OK, I have found an answer. When running the Repackager Wizard, on the Customize Settings screen, click the blue link "Create a new installation capture profile".

Check the box next to "Prompt and wait after installing the package". When the installer prompts you to reboot, click no, reboot later. The Repackager will prompt you to Continue. Leave that pop-up alone and reboot the machine.

The Repackager should restart after you reboot the machine.
