Reboot in Screen Dialogue does not work

[Kai]

Anyone can help?
After installing the Screen Dialogue for rebooting the system does not appear, neither the screen dialogue for finished installation.
What can I do? What did I do wrong?

I know the setup detects automatically when system needs a reboot, but there are some shared files which need to be registered. And I want the system gets rebooted in the screen dialogue.

Hope for help.

I don't have it in front of me right now, however I believe that the Reboot System screen has the screen condition %NeedsReboot% = TRUE, therefore it will only show if that is the case. So if you always want that screen to display, remove its screen condition.

The variable that directly causes a reboot is %DoReboot%, so if you set that variable to TRUE, the system will be rebooted at the end of the install unless that variable is modified after that.

One other thing, if you want it to have reboot as a default, set %DoReboot% to TRUE on the before actions tab of that screen, or earlier.

To change it to DoReboot doesn't work.
What's going on?
I don't really know the further steps, I'm pretty disappointed.
Why this stuff don't work. Is it a bug maybe?
I need help, please.

My guess is that your screen conditions are incorrect. What are your screen conditions for those two screens? If all screen conditions don't evaluate to TRUE, the screen will not display.

[Kai]

Do I have to set it to false?

[Kai]

OK, Thank you Darryl, I've got it, I set it to false and it works now.

I think you may have misunderstood because setting it to FALSE will not really solve your problem. You should only have conditions there you want to check for the screen. Therefore if there are any unneccesary conditions, you should just remove them. You only need conditions there that you want to check to conditionally show that screen.

OK, so please tell me how to exactly set those conditions in order to show the screens after installing.

I hope I didn't misunderstand what your intensions were, because what you have may be correct.

So what I need to know to answer that question is, under what conditions do you want your Finished screen to display, and under what conditions do you want your Reboot screen to display?

Do you want both to display or just one of them?

Do you want a reboot to always occur?

[Kai]

The Screen for reboot must always be shown to ask the user if he wants to reboot or not.

[Darryl]

Ok, if you always want the screen to be shown, then you should not have any screen condition on that screen. So remove all contents of the condition, unless there is a language condition you wish to set.

Sometimes I really behave like dumb. Hr hr. Thank you Darryl.
