Reboot xp help
I would be pleased to get a reboot function into my NSIS installer, which is for the Windows XP system.

But I am very confused which function/code I can use, and where to put it. I have not included a finish page.

My english is not that good to understand what to do here. I have read the NSIS documentation and seach this forum, but cant figure it out. Hope that somebody can help me out! :eek:

Use the Reboot command to reboot.

If you want to check whether a reboot is required (NSIS has set the reboot flag), use IfRebootFlag.

So;

Function .onInstSuccess
  MessageBox MB_ICONINFORMATION|MB_OK "Installation completed successfully."

IfRebootFlag 0 no_reboot_done

  MessageBox MB_ICONQUESTION|MB_YESNO|MB_DEFBUTTON2 "To complete the installation, your PC must be rebooted.$\r$\n$\r$\nWould you like to reboot now?" IDNO no_reboot
  REBOOT
  Abort

  no_reboot:
  MessageBox MB_ICONINFORMATION|MB_OK "You must do a reboot before you can use ${MUI_PRODUCT}."
  no_reboot_done:

FunctionEnd
