Feature request: resume tracing after reboot

Post by Dustyn »

Hello :smile:

I wanted to check if a feature exists that allows an installation of an application to be traced, even when the computer must be restarted when requested by the installer package to complete an installation?

Thank you,
Dustyn

PS: Currently using Revo Uninstall Pro and it does not support tracing during an installation that wants a reboot.

Re: Installing/Tracing Application: REBOOT REQUEST

Post by Steven »

hi, Dustyn

Updated

That's a nice feature request. I'm putting this to the TODO list. Not sure of implementation at the moment, but it will be done I believe. Though there's NO 100% sure way to detect if an installation will continue after reboot, so I think it will work in most of cases but not all of them.

What can be done now: Append traced data manually after reboot (will work for some cases)

Ahh, okay thanks for the info. :smile:
Appending traced data manually after a reboot is an interesting addition.

+1 for this feature request. The append feature and portable license are what compelled me to start using Uninstall Tool vs competing products.

Surviving reboot when uninstalling would be a stellar feature as today's software becomes more invasive installing services and whatnot.
