Suppressing "An operating system restart is pending" when installing Autodesk products versions 2023 and above

Ken Williams

Issue:

You have built a deployment and want to know whether you can avoid seeing the following error message on the client PC: "An operating system restart is pending" message.

Solution:

By adding the flag "REBOOT=ReallySuppress" in the install batch file, you can avoid seeing the following message on the client PC: "An operating system restart is pending" when installing Autodesk products versions 2023 and above".

Example of including this flag in the .bat file for a deployment with basic UI enabled: 

chcp 65001

rem ========== Install the deployment with basic UI ==========
".\image\Installer.exe" -i deploy --offline_mode --ui_mode basic -o ".\image\Collection.xml" --installer_version "1.39.0.174" REBOOT=ReallySuppress
