My installer keeps prompting for a reboot, and I am trying to find out why. I set the Reboot property to 'ReallySuppress' with the following XML:
<Property Id="REBOOT" Value="ReallySuppress" /> I have run the installer with verbose log, trying to look for the clues listed on this helpful blog post: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windows_installer_team/archive/2005/09/19/470980.aspx However, none of the tips pointed me to a reason for the reboot. I do not see "ReplacedInUseFiles" property set or Info 1603 or 1903 messages. My installer does update an Explorer plugin, but the Restart Manager successfully shuts down Explorer.exe and updates the DLL. I also run a custom action, but it's unclear if that triggers the reboot. I see the following lines in the log file: MSI (c) (F8:08) [18:33:11:278]: Incrementing counter to disable shutdown. Counter after increment: 0 MSI (c) (F8:E0) [18:34:33:767]: Disallowing shutdown. Shutdown counter: 0 MSI (s) (04:30) [18:34:48:408]: Incrementing counter to disable shutdown. Counter after increment: 0 MSI (s) (04:30) [18:34:48:439]: Decrementing counter to disable shutdown. If counter >= 0, shutdown will be denied. Counter after decrement: -1 These are not consecutive, just the lines related to the Shutdown property. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
