Restarting after installing softwares using WPI

[LLiLo]

Hi, i'm having some issues on restarting the computer after the WPI finishes to install all my programs, it sometimes restarts before all the softwares are completely installed and also if i want to isntall only one aplication it will restar my computer as well, and it doesn't wait for the application to install successfully.

Any help will be really apreciated.

Hmm, i don't know exactly what WPI is, but if it runs silent installers, try finding a switch to disable restarting for those installers.

If, for example, your script gets called like this:

setup.exe /q

try to get the parameters with one of the following:

setup.exe /?

setup.exe /help

setup.exe -help <-- seldom, maybe does not work as intended.

setup.exe /h <-- maybe does not work as intended.

setup.exe -h <-- maybe does not work as intended.

(or look at the documentation?)

Add the switch to your command line. It could then l look like one of this:

setup /q /r:s

setup /q /W

setup /quiet /norestart <-- works especially for msi-installers

A bit over-detailed, but I hope this helps.
