When an installer, after its installation, asks to restart the computer, you can avoid doing so by deleting (or renaming) the following Windows registry value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations

Issue: A “Blue Screen of Death” shows up when trying to start the installer.

He starts the setup and a a random point it gets killed (not an normal stop)….

We have seen this, too. We work around it by having the customer use msconfig to disable services that are not Microsoft's, plus all Startup programs. Then run the installer, then use msconfig to go back to a Normal startup. Works every time.

1. Click “Start”, click “Run”, type “msconfig” (without the quotation marks), and then click “OK”. 2. In “System Configuration Utility”, click the “Services” tab, and then click to select the “Hide all Microsoft Services” check box. 3. Click “Disable All” 4. Click “Startup” tab. 5. Click “Disable All” 6. Click “Apply” then “Close” 7. Restart computer 8. Insert the <product> CD and install the program.

When the installation is complete you must restore your computer from a clean boot.

1. Click “Start”, click “Run”, type “msconfig” (without the quotation marks), and then click “OK”. Note: you can choose to do the following steps or just click “Normal Startup” on the General tab. 2. In “System Configuration Utility”, click the “Services” tab, and then click “Enable All” 3. Click “Startup” tab. 4. Click “Enable” All 5. Click “Apply” then Close 6. Restart computer

Hello,

We use InnoSetup for a commercial programm.
With a customer we run in to the following problem.

He starts the setup and a a random point it gets killed (not an normal
stop)….

Weh I use the /LOG option the log also just stops at a point en no
closing/stop info of inno setup is loggen. Also the temporary created
folders are still there. This suggest that (probebly some other process -
aka virusscanner) is killing the installer process…
