Multiple Stage Setup

[tkroeckel]

Hi,
I've searched the SUF7 discussion multiple times, but I do not find an answer to the following question:

Is it possible, to build (only) ONE setup.exe with the possibility, to reentry in the installation after a 'System.Reboot(), i.e.:

- ...
- uninstall (old) driver which forces a reboot
- perform reboot
- install (new) driver
- ...



If yes, a code snip is appreciated.

Thx in advance
Thomas

you can do sort of this:

IF stage1 finished stage=stage2 else stage=stage1

IF stage==stage1
- remove old file
- add an entry in the RunOnce section of the registry that will start the installer again on the next reboot
- write somewhere that stage1 has been processed
- reboot

IF stage==stage2
- delete info that stage1 has been processed
- install new file
- exit

Put the code in the OnStartup script
RunOnce entry will be deleted automatically
