ScheduleReboot problem

Hi

At the end of my installer the SetupSuccess dialog displays a couple of check boxes to launch additional installers. Problem is when the installers are launched the ScheduleReboot dialog appears. This could allow the user to do the reboot before the launched installers have completed.

Is there anyway of launching the installers before the ScheduleReboot message dialog. Currently I use VB script custom actions to do the launching after the ExecuteAction CA in the UI sequence.

What are the properties of your actions that launch other installers (are they synchronous)? What types of installers are they?

Hi Robert

- Using a basic msi project
- Properties bound to the checkbox controls
- Custom actions are set after the executeaction in the UI sequence and of
type synchronous with check exit code and immediate execution
- One installer is a non msi made by NULLSOFT and the other basic msi
Installshield.

Basically the completesuccess dialog diaplays two checkboxes. If they are checked they then execute the associated vb custom actions.

The idea is that the installer 1 is launched and completes in full UI mode, once completed the second installer should be launched, once the second installer has completed the reboot schedule dialog of the main/parent installer should be displayed.

What happens if the reboot schedule ca is ordered after the vb custom actions?

Another option is to possibly spawn the installers after the reboot of the parent installer?

Cheers
