Setting restart options
Products that include changes to operating system files might require users to
restart their computers so that the changes are written to the appropriate areas
of the system. Product restart requirements are specified in the product
modules. If a package contains multiple products that require a restart,
Symantec Packager lets you choose a restart option for the entire package. This
suppresses individual product settings.
You can configure a package to not restart the computer, to restart after
installing each product that requires it, or to delay the restart until the entire
package is installed. You can also configure the package to restart the computer
automatically or to prompt the user. The option that you choose depends on how
interactive you want the installation to be. If you want to let users cancel the
restart, specify a timeout period to respond to the prompt.
To set restart options
1 In the Symantec Packager window, on the Configure Packages tab, do one of
the following:
■
Create a new package definition.
■
Double-click an existing package definition to edit it.
