Prevent Error -125071 when using nipkg.exe install package

[Oli_Wachno]

Hi there,

I guess the solution is already somewhere here, but I was too blind...

How can I prevent the error -125071 (A system reboot is needed to complete the transaction) after running

nipkg.exe install somepackage

?

-- prevent reboot only works for MSI installers it seems

Cheers

Oli

Hi Oli,

If you're doing it interactively, I think the answer is just ignore it.

Assuming this is probably as part of a script/build process, the answer is similar - tell your process to ignore it.

You can see an example of this for PowerShell (and Docker) here: https://github.com/oist/LabVIEW_Dockerfiles/blob/18832d03a5e9a56e7ad010fc493be99e49726115/Dockerfile...

I copied the lines below for reference:

if( $LASTEXITCODE.Equals(-125071) ) { `
	# Needs restart 
	Write-Output 'Exiting successfully' `
	exit 0 `
} else { `
	exit $LASTEXITCODE `
}

Here this is part of the previous line, which ends with the semicolon to separate the commands but runs as one "RUN" operation in the Dockerfile.

How you apply this to your use-case is I guess calling-code dependent?
