View Full Version : Two questions

1. I have an install script that when finished says you need to reboot and I cannot figure out why.
There should be no reason. Is there something in the log that will tell me or some other
suggestion on how to determine the cause?

2. When an install script is run multiple times it appears that the uninstall log is appended to
each time. Is this going to be a problem if the uninstall option is executed? Is there a way to
replace the log each time?

Thanks,
Tony

oops, forget # 2, just found the "Overwrite existing uninstall application" check box.

Tony,

If your app is running (or any file that you are installing/upgrading is in
use), then the installer will automatically flag the file to be replaced
after the reboot and call for the reboot.

This is normal behavior.

Does that help?
