Hi guys

i have a quick question maybe someone here knows the answer

i am looking for the registry key(or something else)

that controls what you see after installing updates that require reboot.

example:

i upgraded to ie8,it asked for restart

i reboot the computer

before i log in i see the welcome screen and then a screen that says "installing updates phase 1 25% 50% .....

i am looking for the thing that controls that(in xp you had that runonce key but in visat/7 its something else)

thanks in advance

(edit - two topics same subject)

RunOnce is also in Vista

but I know what phase of boot you are talking about.

When an update is installed and

Needs to complete after the next Reboot

Can you specify an update so I can test that?

I am currently testing my Vista x86 installation disk and

as I will be reinstalling Multiple times over the next 3 days,

I would like to see if I can figure that out.

here, then click the link in it. (a double-topic by OP)

The OP is referring to IE8 and why it's saying "Installing Updates". IE8 has an "optional selection" to Update that must be "turned off".

No magic here.

i think any update that requires reboot(and maybe has files at work at the time of installing which is same thing actually:))

will cause this thing

i just cant figure out where it is exactly and what controls that gui:)

could be nice to migrate my apps to running in this nice gui before login wouldnt it:)?

runoncex can still be used in Vista and I'm doing it with Win Seven also

I think the OP misunderstands that any given "package" may have different silent/noreboot options (depending on what software created the package).

It would be necessary to investigate that (type), then determine the method (switches), then put in into the RunOnce sequence.

There is no "catch-all" method...

i think you miss understand what i mean

i am not talking about runonceexe and all that

those do not control thoat initial logon screen where it says"installing updates phase 1 phase 2 205 40% ...."

im looking to what controls that action

ill try to take vmware screenshots and show you
