Restart after Windows Installer Installed
Looking for the impossible I believe.

The Windows Installer Update 2.0 (InstMsi(A)(W)) does not like to run with NSIS installer running at the same time. It request that the NSIS installation package be shutdown. After the InstMsi(A)(W).exe finishes its installation it does not need a reboot.

So is there any way to restart the NSIS installation after the Windows Installer Update has completed?

Why would it want to close the NSIS installer? Weird :weird:
Anyway, you can create an external program that will execute the two and after InstMsiA/W finishes you can run NSIS again. If there is a reboot in the middle you can put it in the RunOnce registry key.

I was afraid that would be the only solution. A bit too kludgy for my liking. Will try some other workaround.

Thanks
