Restart Windows

[NewsArchive]

I know this is probably obvious, but I can't find it. My installation
no longer requires Windows to be restarted. How do I turn off the
reboot request after installation?

Hi Casey,

If the installer asks for a reboot and you have *not* a function in your
script to programmatically reboot at the end of the installation, then a
restart *is* required in order to finalize your installation. In this case
the installer has to replace a locked (in-use) file. If you do not reboot,
then you have an incomplete installation.

Does this help?

Fair enough, but what is the setting that gets the installer to ask for
a reboot?

Casey,

The installer automatically asks for a reboot if it replaced locked files.
If you do not then you have an incomplete installation.

To disable the reboot (*NOT RECOMMENDED*), you can use the "Set Installer
Flag" script function.

Set Installer Flag $SB_RESTARTFLAG$ to "0"

Does this help?

That certainly makes sense. Thanks, Friedrich.
