getting reboot dialog and not calling for one
SB 8.1 4227
I am getting a reboot computer dialog after my SB installer runs and nowhere
in my script am I calling the reboot dialog. I am, however, stopping some
services and this is the only thing I can think of that would cause this. In
silent mode, the computer automatically reboots.
I do not want a reboot, regardless of stopping services or not. How do I
suppress the reboot dialog?
regards,
Chuck

If Windows needs a reboot then you have replaced "in-use" (locked) files.
Perhaps your services need some more time to shut-down? You can check this
in a simple LOOP with a timer.

You can use the "Set Installer Flag..." script function in combination with
$SB_RESTARTFLAG$ to disable a pending reboot.
Set Installer Flag $SB_RESTARTFLAG$ to "0"
But please note that this will result in an incomplete install. In your
scenario (you replaced locked file) Windows needs a reboot to complete the
install.
IMO, it's your service that needs a few more seconds to terminate. If I
were you, I would use the "Check Service..." function in a LOOP (with some
kind of timer) to make sure the dependency files are not locked.
Hope this helps.

Friedrich,
Thanks - I was killing my services in the installer rather than letting them
gracefully stop themselves.
