Also, why are you never prompted to elevate to Admin rights when you run the setup, that is strange.

Try compiling it and running it on a clean machine like a VMWare virtual machine. When I do it that, it does not prompt, nor does it reboot.

Your sample does exactly as I described. The setup runs to the end, there is no prompt to reboot, and there is no reboot, even though a reboot is required. There is no option in your system to run the setup to the end and then prompt for a reboot. Please fix this.

Hi Varul, you can test this with InstallShield's own prerequisites. I tried both the .NET 4.8 Full, and the Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable. If you ask me it's quite simple. InstallShield gives a number of options in the Behavior tab for dealing with reboot scenarios, none of which are "correct". There are only two scenarios, both of which the setup should run to the end. At the end, either a standard user is prompted to reboot now or later or; the user is a doing an admin rollout where they don't won't to be prompted, they want it to reboot automatically. The admin rollout should actually be a commandline option so, really there is only one "correct" reboot scenario configuration. And InstallShield currently does not support the only "correct" configuration. If the "Note it,..." selection worked as it is documented then that would solve the problem, as it is the system is broken.

Hi roman2, Thanks, I tried your solution and various tweaks of it and still cannot get it work. I am able to log the main msi, where I get: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding MsiSystemRebootPending property. Its value is '1' and then: Skipping action: ScheduleReboot (condition is false) I am trying to log the prerequisite in the setup.exe using this advice in the help file: Setup.exe and Update.exe Command-Line Parameters but the setup.exe does not recognize the /debuglog switch and fails to run the setup. When it does run, it is acting as if the prerequisite is running from the setup.exe in a windows installer instance that ends and then the main msi runs in a it's own instance and there is no communication between the two instances. In any case it is definitely not acting as described in the Behavior page documentation says it should.

I have created a Prerequisite using the Editor dialog. This prerequisite will required a reboot if installed. I choose: Note it, fail to resume if the machine is rebooted, and reboot after the installation in Behavior\If the prerequisite requires a reboot This should allow the the setup to continue and set the ISSCHEDULEREBOOT to 1. I have the ScheduleReboot action added at the end of the Execute sequence, in the default place. But, it does not prompt the user to restart. What else do I need to do? Thanks.

Ok, hopefully almost there. Getting the prerequisite files into the setup.exe requires a setting on the Media\Release\Setup.exe. So now I have the prerequisite installing, but it dos not continue with the main setup setup after installing the prerequisite, I have run the setup again to run the main setup.

Thanks for the link. There seems to be some missing information, though. I have successfully created the prerequisite with the Application To Run set as the vs_redist.x86.exe, it compiles, but when I run the setup.exe it errors that it cannot find the file to run for this prerequisite. How do I make sure the vc_redist.x86.exe is included in the msi or the setup.exe package and the prerequisite knows where to find it?

I need to redistribute the vc runtime contained in VC142 vc_redist.x86.exe. According to this MS documentation I need to add this file to my installation as a prerequisite. I have not been able to find documentation on the InstallShield site that explains how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I installed the sp6 update to a test machine and it copies .cab files for each control to a folder, I imagine for redistribution. Is there some way to reconcile these .cab files with the merge modules?

For VB6 sp6 runtime distribution, up until now we have been using the merge modules found here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5883 We have recently discovered that there have been updates: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957924 Does anyone know if there is somewhere to download the merge modules for these updated versions? Thanks, John

Changing the Upgradecode using the GUI either through the General grid or the Upgrade Item does not update the Upgrade table in the database, it changes a property in the Properties table called Upgradecode. Is this a known bug, or by design?
