I have an install package that I wrote a few weeks ago. As long as conditions are right it
properly installs and uninstalls the software package. What constitutes wrong conditions
you ask? Sometimes the application or some parts of it are running at the time of
install. I cannot control what is running at the time of install. If any part of it is running
at install time, msiexec throws up a reboot dialog box. The problem is, the install is being
done under SMS (outside my control) unattended. I’m told that the dialog box hangs the
install (which I would expect) and causes SMS to fail the install. I am also told that
AFTER the install is finished, the SMS script is finished (or rather at the end of it) the
target machine is unconditionally rebooted.
So, is there a way to REALLY suppress reboot? I have:
<Property Id="REBOOT" Admin="yes" Secure="yes">ReallySuppress</Property>
In the code for that purpose, but it seems to be totally ineffective. If the application or
any part of it are running at install time, I get that reboot dialog. Is there something
else I’m missing? I do NOT have any forced or scheduled reboot elements, so I know
they’re not doing it, and I ONLY get the dialog if some part is running.
Any suggestions?
