Hi.

I need to register some files during the installation.
In order to do so, I need to install the registration program and boot before I can use it. This means that I need to do a reboot during the installation and continue after the user has rebooted.

Now, what is the best way to do this?

My thoughts were installing the registration file and onFirstAfter 1) run it, 2) write <path>\setup.exe with commandline "continue_from_here" in the RunOnce and 3) do a reboot.
When the system loads, setup.exe will run again and onBegin() there will be more actions to perform and it finishes, quit the installer.

Is there a better implementation to do it? Is there a function that, once I've implement it, will run automatically after boot???

something like this -

function onBegin()
begin
if (CMDLINE % continue_from_here)then
// do some actions here and quit after
Quit( .... );
endif;

// else, continue as usual
end;

function onFirstAfter()
begin
Launch(....exe);
RegSetData(RUNONCE, "..setup.exe continue_from_here")
SdReboot(..)
end;

First of all: are you using MSI?

No, this is pure InstallScript.
