Custom Action Gallery

InstallShield 2019 Express Edition

The Custom Action gallery contains preconfigured custom actions that achieve common functionality. The custom actions contained in this gallery do not require any input from you. They are designed to be added to your installation project and run during installation. To insert an action from your gallery into your installation, right-click one of the items in the Custom Actions view, point to Add from Gallery, and then click the custom action that you want to add to your project.

Currently, the only action listed in this gallery is Schedule Reboot at End action. If you add this action to your project, it is automatically added to the After Setup Complete Success dialog part of the installation. This action forces the target machine to reboot after the installation completes, allowing .dll files and other files to register with the system at startup. Changing any of this custom action’s settings or scheduling it for a different part of the installation is not recommended. For example, if you reschedule it, your installation may cause the target machine to restart before the file transfer has completed.
