4 years ago The MSI is built using pretty standard WiX configuration. There are no custom actions. To be honest, the WiX stuff all seems really hard to work with, though I think this is a reflection of the underlying Windows system.
Interestingly, running graphically I have seen a warning about needing a reboot, but that never actually happens.
I suspect this is all related to the service installation
I had to uninstall and reinstall osquery. During the uninstall, I used the string: msiexec.exe /f "launcher.msi" ALLUSERS=1 /qn /norestart /log output.log
Launcher msi forces the server to reboot even though /norestart flag was set.
Reason Code: 0x80030002 Shutdown Type: restart Comment: The Windows Installer initiated a system restart to complete or continue the configuration of 'Kolide launcher so-launcher x64 1.1.1'.
This absolutely can not happen. I've had production servers go down because of this. Am I missing something?
launcher.msi /? shows that it supports the /norestart flag.
