iTunes 11 suppress reboot

I'm having problems getting itunes to install without rebooting the workstation. 

I've tried:

REBOOT=ReallySuppress

/norestart

Neither stopped the reboot after installation.  I didn't have this same issue with iTunes 10.

Answer Summary:
Set the property IS_ASU to "0" and this CA will not execute and it will not reboot after install.

I took a look in the iTunes64.msi and it seems that after InstallFinalize is set a Custom Acction called Set_REBOOT with the condition IS_ASU="1".

Set the property IS_ASU to "0" and this CA will not execute. I didn't test this, but you can do it very easy.

Also, you can create a MST and remove this CA from msi script.

  • Setting IS_ASU to "0" stopped the reboot. I overlooked that when I was making my changes. Thanks. - nobenhoffer 11 years ago

Might want to try:

reboot=suppress

That is what I use in my .bat file to install iTunes and I do not recall needing to reboot with it.  From what I can tell, the /norestart works for everything but the AppleApplicationSupport installer, which is what requires the reboot=suppress option.




Comments:
  • Since itunes being a vendor MSI , check the custom action table , I have had many instances wherein the reboot was called for , from a custom action and i m a bit skeptical about the same custom action used in this case too. Also refer the log file, there has to be something related to reboot. - talonsprem87 11 years ago

I assume you have tried the suggestions here?  http://www.itninja.com/software/apple/itunes/11-1184

  • Yes, I've looked at those suggestions, and they work fine for iTunes 10, but somethingseems to be different with the msi for 11. Specifically, I'm installing version 11.0.3 - nobenhoffer 11 years ago
