If a software installer requires a machine to reboot, it will display a message in the Install Complete panel. You can customize that message and here’s how.
• Go the Install Complete panel in the Post-Install sequence
• Look for a property on the right side that says “When $RESTART_NEEDED$ equals _____, show this message"
• “No” will be initially selected
• In the drop down menu, select either of these options: YES_REQUIRED or YES_RECOMMENDED
• You can see the display message and customize it in that box
InstallShield
Create native MSIX packages, build clean installs, and build installations in the cloud with InstallShield from Revenera.
Important note: The $RESTART_NEEDED$ variable is not set to what is selected in the drop down box. The variable can take any one of those three values. The purpose of the drop down list is to show what message is being displayed to the end user when $RESTART_NEEDED$ is set to that value.
