I'm using InstallShied 6.3.. I force a reboot when the install finishes because I am installing a driver. I do not want to ask the user to reboot. InstallShield only prompts 50% of the time the install is run but I want it to disapear all together

Thanks in advance!

well, first remove the dialong box which should appear something like this.


SdFinishReboot (szTitle, szMsg1, nOption, szMsg2, nReserved);


then add this line to the end

System (SYS_BOOTMACHINE);

Hope this helps.  
(By the way, I hope you let the user know beforehand that their machine will be restarted.  Otherwise, you may just piss someone off

I already removed SdFinishReboot from the script and do force the reboot and yup, I do let the user know There must be a flag somewhere to set to stop it from displaying the dialog.

I think it is fixed now, but it is hard to test since it only happends 50% of the time... Here is what I did..

I removed the call to SdFinishEx
SdFinishEx just makes the call to SdFinish or SdFinishReboot so I killed that call and call SdFinish in it's place.

This seems to be the trick around this problem.

You can at any time make a "Dlg..." dialogue disappear by

 Disable(DIALOGCACHE);

So in your case, call this statement just after you informed the user of the following reboot.

Try to set BATCH_INSTALL to FALSE at the last possible position in the Script BEFORE it is rebooting.

When InstallShield finds an file which can not be updated because it is locked, it sets BATCH_INSTALL = TRUE;
I had to set this manually, to ensure that the reboot is always required, because of silent setup
