Installation does not continue after reboot on InstallScript MSI project

[Phonon]

Hi All,

I'm having a problem with an installation not continuing after .NET 2.0 is installed and the computer is rebooted.

It is an InstallScript MSI project which installs from the web.

After the computer reboots, the system asks if you want to run 'setup.exe', making you think the installation is about to continue. After clicking 'ok', nothing seems to happen.

I have no choice - I must reboot the computer (can't delay) because part of the installation depends on it being installed.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Andrew

Hi All,

still not getting an answer to this.

There was a post about this being a bug with Windows, so I'm wondering if I could do something like the following:
1. Delay reboot
2. Determine if .NET was just installed - if yes, reboot manually
3. Implement OnRebooted to continue the installation.

I don't know if this failure to continue the installation after reboot is something that happens even if I reboot manually. Also, I'm not sure how to determine if the .NET installation was just executed and the reboot delayed.

Any ideas?

Andrew, how are you installing the .NET Framework 2.0? If you are using a prerequisite, then there should be an option in the .prq file to reboot the installation and InstallShield should take care of resuming the install upon reboot.
