Install requires reboot?

Post by JuanAtDMD »

The installer for my product shells out to install.exe to SILENTLY install the Amyuni driver. When the installer for my product completes, a message box pops (from the Amyuni installer) prompting the user to reboot. The odd thing is that it always displays the message box about 5 seconds after exiting the main installer. It doesn't matter how long I wait to exit the main installer, 5 seconds later I'm prompted to reboot.

This happens on Windows XP Pro and I haven't tested on other platforms. This message box defeats the purpose of SILENTLY installing the driver.

The installer is invoked as follows:
install.exe -s "Printer Name" -n "License Name" -c "Activation Code"

In addition, the install.exe always returns 0 so there's no way to tell when a reboot is required.

Any way to suppress the reboot messagebox and still get notified if a reboot is required? I need to build a silent installer for my product and I need to get around this issue.

Thanks!

Hello,

Calling Install.exe doesn't generate a message box that asks the user the reboot the machine.

Install.exe generates a log file to tell if the printer was installed successfully.
