Reboot Handling in the Repackaging Wizard

During repackaging, a setup may require a reboot. For example, some operations may require a file which is in use

be replaced, which can only be done after a reboot. Some nuances exist depending on the repackaging

technology you are using (Snapshot or Installation Monitoring). In either case, when the Repackaging Wizard

detects that a reboot is necessary, the Repackaging Wizard saves the appropriate data and waits until you confirm

that you are ready to reboot the machine.

For Snapshot repackaging, the operating system completes the reboot operation. During startup, the operating

system restarts all applications and processes and performs any pending file operations. One of the applications

that restarts is Repackager. Before you continue processing in Repackager, be patient and ensure all processes

and applications have restarted. This may take a minute or two. After the applications and processes have been

launched, you can continue repackaging by clicking Process.
