Betreff: RE: Question about windows installer 3.1, selfextracting archive and reboot problem It depends on your bootstrapper, its capabilities, and how it is configured. What bootstrapper are you using? -----Original Message----- From: g...@skidata.com [mailto:g...@skidata.com] Sent: Friday, April 17, 2009 4:44 AM To: Blair Murri Subject: Question about windows installer 3.1, selfextracting archive and reboot problem Hi Blair, I've found a very interesting answer from you in an old WIX user thread that should sove my problem but I've some questions about your post. The problem occurs using a self extracting archive that contain the installation files and the installation of installer 3.1 requires a reboot which breaks the installation because the temp files are not available after reboot. Your post is listened below: >>> According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/msi/setup/windows_installer_redistributables.asp you can pass a command-line option of /norestart to the 3.1 installer, and if that installer returns ERROR_SUCCESS_REBOOT_REQUIRED then you should reboot after installing your product. Then you don’t have to worry about restarting your installation and having it deleted from your TEMP dir. Blair Murri Windows Live Setup Developer <<< I use Wix 3 and use a bootstrapper for installer 3.1 within my Wix project file. Now my questions: - How can I pass the command line option /norestart within the bootsprapper declaration? - How could I check the result of the installation of installer 3.1? - How could I request a restart?
