Restart between installs

The Toolkit General Discussion
1

Hi Guys

Is it possible to first uninstall a application then perform a restart then continue with a new installation?

2

Yes.

Use PSADT’s Show-InstallationRestartPrompt function to trigger a reboot after the first part.
SCCM might see it as a failure but with the reboot it will retry or the user can retry to speed up the installation.

3

Thank you for the response!

Can it be done while noone is logged on? I need to do over a weekend on 500 machines

4

PSADT’s Show-InstallationRestartPrompt function will only show a GUI if a user is logged on.
No user, no GUI needed and triggers a reboot.

Thank you so much!! Have a great day

Not sure what im doing wronf but the machine is not restarting. Here is me script

      Execute-Process -Path "amp_P_-_Static_VDI_-_CORP" -Parameters '/R /S /remove 1 /uninstallpassword "XXXXXXX"

      ## Remove-File -Path 'C:\Program Files\Cisco\AMP\local.xml' 

      


	##*===============================================
	##* INSTALLATION
	##*===============================================
	[string]$installPhase = 'Installation'

	## Handle Zero-Config MSI Installations
	If ($useDefaultMsi) {
		[hashtable]$ExecuteDefaultMSISplat =  @{ Action = 'Install'; Path = $defaultMsiFile }; If ($defaultMstFile) { $ExecuteDefaultMSISplat.Add('Transform', $defaultMstFile) }
		Execute-MSI @ExecuteDefaultMSISplat; If ($defaultMspFiles) { $defaultMspFiles | ForEach-Object { Execute-MSI -Action 'Patch' -Path $_ } }
	}

	## <Perform Installation tasks here>


       Show-InstallationRestartPrompt -NoCountdown

       Execute-Process -Path "amp_P_-_Static_VDI_-_CORP.exe" -parameters '/desktopicon 0 /startmenu 0 /contextmenu 1 /skipdfc 0 /skiptetra 0 /S'

Check the log file. It will tell you if it even tried to reboot.

BTW: how does your script know which half of the install to run.
If it can tell, it will only do the first part and reboot over and over.

I would of thought the pre-installion that has the uninstall command then restart and post install reinstall the application

If ($deploymentType -ine 'Uninstall' -and $deploymentType -ine 'Repair') {
	##*===============================================
	##* PRE-INSTALLATION
	##*===============================================
	[string]$installPhase = 'Pre-Installation'

	## Show Welcome Message, close Internet Explorer if required, allow up to 3 deferrals, verify there is enough disk space to complete the install, and persist the prompt
	## Show-InstallationWelcome -CloseApps 'Outlook' -AllowDefer -DeferTimes 3 -CheckDiskSpace -PersistPrompt

	## Show Progress Message (with the default message)
	Show-InstallationProgress

	## <Perform Pre-Installation tasks here>
       
      Execute-Process -Path "amp_P_-_Static_VDI_-_CORP" -Parameters '/R /S /remove 1 /uninstallpassword "xxxxxxxxxx'

              


	##*===============================================
	##* INSTALLATION
	##*===============================================
	[string]$installPhase = 'Installation'

	## Handle Zero-Config MSI Installations
	If ($useDefaultMsi) {
		[hashtable]$ExecuteDefaultMSISplat =  @{ Action = 'Install'; Path = $defaultMsiFile }; If ($defaultMstFile) { $ExecuteDefaultMSISplat.Add('Transform', $defaultMstFile) }
		Execute-MSI @ExecuteDefaultMSISplat; If ($defaultMspFiles) { $defaultMspFiles | ForEach-Object { Execute-MSI -Action 'Patch' -Path $_ } }
	}

	## <Perform Installation tasks here>


       Show-InstallationRestartPrompt -CountdownSeconds 1



       



	##*===============================================
	##* POST-INSTALLATION
	##*===============================================
	[string]$installPhase = 'Post-Installation'

	## <Perform Post-Installation tasks here>

     Execute-Process -Path "amp_P_-_Static_VDI_-_CORP.exe" -parameters '/desktopicon 0 /startmenu 0 /contextmenu 1 /skipdfc 0 /skiptetra 0 /S'

I suspect you are editing one script and running a different one.
I bet if you added a Pause, the script that you are running will not pause.

Regardless, your script does not detect if the first EXE is installed or not.

Ok I tested again and the uninstall works and the reinstall works just the restart never happens . According to the log it says “invoking Show-InstallationRestartPrompt” … Not sure why its now working but Ill try and come up with something else I suppose

you are supposed to exit the script after you call

Show-InstallationRestartPrompt -Countdownseconds 61 -CountdownNoHideSeconds 60
Start-Sleep -Seconds 5 #JIC
Exit-Script -ExitCode 1641     # 1641 = Hard-Reboot

I’ve used AppDeployToolkit to perform the uninstall, and then wrote a Scheduled Task in Powershell to rerun the script as soon as the force reboot has taken place.
