Stop 'system must be restarted' message

[jtdunn]

Hi Friedrich,

I notice that when an installation is performed where one or more of the files being installed is 'in use', that at the end of the installation I get a screen saying that the system must be restarted. In a current installation scenario, I am running the installation from another program and waiting until the installation is completed to do some more processing. I do not want the restart message to appear in that case. Is there any way I can prevent that screen from appearing? There is nothing in the installatin script, that I can see, that would indicate that this screen should be presented to the user.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

Yes, no problem. You can use the "Set Installer Flag..." function to disable this message box.

Set Installer Flag $SB_RESTARTFLAG$ to "0"

See: http://www.lindersoft.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3679

Please note that a reboot is required in order to complete the installation process.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Friedrich. I'll try that. I understand that the file that is in use will not be updated but I have a strategy to work around that.
