I'm building a couple of installers, and both of them ask me to restart after I install them on a non-LabVIEW computer. They contain the LabVIEW RTE as well as NI-VISA runtime components.
I've noticed that I can install them and click "Restart Later" and the applications will run without error. Is there any way I can suppress the "Restart Now" message after my installer completes?

That may very well be true, but I'm only using NI-VISA in order to do some basic serial (RS-232) communication.
As I've said, I've installed the two applications I'm building, ignoring the reboot prompts both times, and then proceeded to run and use both applications (again, without a reboot). Both worked without errors.
I agree that it may not be a "good idea" or good practice by any means, but for convenience's sake... it'd be a huge bonus. I'd hate to write up instructions for my apps that include several lines of "Press 'Reboot Later' if the installer prompts you to restart your computer." 😞

Awesome, I'll give that a shot.
By any chance, do you know if the same behavior (force or suppress reboot after installation has completed) can be specified via the setup.ini file as opposed to a command-line argument?
