Using Installshield create a restart option with custom dialog.

Hello folks,

First of all, not new here. Been with you guys since you were Appdeploy.com (2010). Lost the password and ITNinja won't retrieve it for some reason.

Well, getting to the business at hand, I need to deploy a registry fix. Easy enough using a basic MSI in Installshield. However, there is a need to pass this information to the user with a custom dialog box. The custom dialog should be prominently displayed with an 'OK' button which after being pressed would reboot the system.

I don't have Installshield Premier which allow me the use of the Installscript feature SDFinishReboot.

Is what I require doable with Installshield Professional?

All ideas welcome. (Please do not suggest VBscripts or Powershell scripts. I want to do this using just one file)

Thanks in advance, all.

Between that bunch of links, you should be able to work out what you need to do.

  • Thank you, VBSCab for pointing me in those directions. Some good information there. Hopefully between these links I should be able to come up with something. - Wrapido 7 years ago
