I have created an install using the installshield professional 7 setup wizard. I do not want to show the reboot dialog box at uninstall. Is there a way to do that? And if I do not show the reboot box but want all the clean up actions to be performed without the rebooting, is it possible?

Thanks

In general the reboot dialog is only displayed if a file was locked and therefore a reboot is required to complete the operation. You can prevent display of this dialog by adjusting your OnMaintUIAfter script.

My installer has one exe and one dll file. The exe file is basically a windows service in c++. On uninstalling the windows service gets removed from the services but the installer does not remove the exe file from the location. Why is that exe locked ? Can i unlock it ? I believe these files are not used by other files.

I used the wizard to make this install so I don't have OnMaintUIAfter function in the script. If I add it in the script won't it overwrite the existing function? and what should I write inside the function to disable the reboot dialog. It doesnt ask me to reboot during install .... its only during uninstall.

Do you (successfully) stop the service before removing the exe?
