Reboot Option Questions
I have looked through the docs, but I don't see how I can force the finish page to show the rebootnow and rebootlater buttons. Can someone point me to an example?

Also, I need to show that option at the "finish" of the uninstall also. Is there any way to do that?

Thanks,

JAS

As you probably know, there's a reboot flag. And then there's a IfRebootFlag instruction. And you can use to show a "MessageBox MB_OKCANCEL" to prompt and then there's the instruction Reboot. If you specially want the "reboot now" "Reboot later" text in the buttons, DrO is making a nice plugin for this :)


At the end of the sections you will have something like this:


IfRebootFlag "" NoFlag
MessageBox MB_OKCANCEL "want to reboot" IDCANCEL NoFlag
Reboot
NoFlag:

I did see something about the reboot flag, but I do not understand how to set it.

Also because the latest MUI Readme includes:

MUI_FINISHPAGE_TEXT_REBOOT text
Text to display on the finish page when asking for a sytem reboot. Use \r\n for a newline.

MUI_FINISHPAGE_TEXT_REBOOTNOW text
Text to display next to the 'Reboot now' option button.

MUI_FINISHPAGE_TEXT_REBOOTLATER text
Text to display next to the 'Reboot later' option button.

I assumed there must be some obvious way to make those buttons show (i.e. something simpler than a plug-in)

Am I wrong about this?

there's a SetRebootFlag instruction.

And sorry, but I don't know a thing about MUI.

Unless you define MUI_FINISHPAGE_NOREBOOTSUPPORT the MUI finish page will automatically show a reboot option if the reboot flag is set. The reboot flag is set if you use /REBOOTOK for Rename, Delete, RMDir or SetRebootFlag true.

As for the uninstaller, you can use un.onInstSuccess to show an option to reboot using a message box.

OK. I understand now, and I can see the reboot radio buttons on my finish page. However, I do not seem to be able to set the text for those buttons. This is what I have (in my Pages section):

.
.
.
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES
!define MUI_PAGE_FINISH_TEXT_REBOOTNOW "Reboot the computer now?"
!define MUI_PAGE_FINISH_TEXT_REBOOTLATER "Reboot the computer later?"
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH
.
.
.

But when I run the installer, I do not see the texts I specified.

What am I doing wrong here?

That's because you are using the wrong names.

It should be MUI_FINISHPAGE_TEXT_REBOOTNOW and MUI_FINISHPAGE_TEXT_REBOOTLATER.

OK've got it now.

Just in case anyone else is reading this thread: Kichik note (above) should have referred to un.onUnInstSuccess.
