Detect reboot
Hi,

After installing some windows functionnalities with dism (win2008R2), i need to detect if a reboot is needed.
A reboot is needed because I cannot install a new windows functionnalty.

I have tried this

${If} ${RebootFlag}
Messagebox mb_ok "Rebook detected"

And

Push $R1
Call RestartRequired
Exch $R1
StrCmp $R1 "1" RestartRequired noreboot

I have found this function on the wiki.

Is there a solution to detect a pending reboot?

Regards

What about IfRebootFlag?

IfRebootFlag 0 noreboot
MessageBox MB_YESNO "A reboot is required to finish the installation. Do you wish to reboot now?" IDNO noreboot
Reboot
noreboot:

This only works inside the nsis script, though. If an external setup program requires a reboot then I don't know how to get that information with nsis. Or, if you know one of the external programs needs a reboot, then you can force a reboot from nsis anyway.

Oh, and your code should look like this:

${If} ${RebootFlag}
Messagebox mb_ok "Rebook detected"
${EndIf}
