40comupd.exe

[Randy Reil]

I need to verify that the proper comctl32.dll is in place on the Win95 or NT
system that I install my application to.

I have included 40comupd.exe to run as an extension with InstallShield
Express 2.02 and have added the /Q (quiet mode) for silent operation BUT,
the request to reboot the computer still comes up when the update is
complete. I am running 40comupd.exe before I do my file installs.

I only want the reboot message to come up at the end of my install. Is there
a way to suppress the message from the 40comupd.exe program so that I can
just force it from Installshield?

Thanks for any help.

No unfortunately you cannot. The extension (40COMUPD) will respond in its
own time. The only way you would be able to get it to reboot properly is to
call it at the end of the installation, which is not what you want I would
assume.

Is there an ISX 2.02 object that will properly handle 40comupd.exe? I need
to be sure the proper comctl32.dll is in place, but I don't want to deal
with running 40comupd.exe as an extension.

Thanks.

No unfortunately not. You may want to run 40COMUPD.EXE and check which
files it installs, and then include those files manually in your
installation.

When I select the "Windows Common Controls" object in my setup project, do I
include the functionality of 40comupd? In other words, if I include this
object, can I skip 40comupd? Thanks.

If you ran 40COMUPD on your machine, most probably yes, since you upgraded
your common controls. They will then be included in your project.

It is worth checking it out.

Actually Randy you can suppress the reboot message by using the following:

40comupd /r:n /q:a (totally quiet) with no prompts on error messages
or
40comupd /r:n /q:1 99% quiet mode, some errors will show messages.

You can find the complete (although brief) description at the following link

www.eu.microsoft.com/msdn/downloads/files/40comupd.htm

I spent a lot of time looking for this so I know how obscure it is to find.
