Restart prompt on Uninstall doesn't work with Black Surface Theme

Sun Oct 15, 2023 3:09 pm

Hello,
I am using Advanced Installer, version 20.8, Enterprise Edition.

The installer uses the Black Surface Theme. It also uses the "Force Reboot after Install" option so that the machine gets restarted after the installation is complete. The prompt works while the application is being installed. It restarts the machine. But if the application is uninstalled using the "Control Panel", then the prompt appears but clicking "Yes" doesn't restart the machine.

I have an uninstall shortcut in my application, which works perfectly. If I use this shortcut to uninstall, then the application gets restarted after the uninstallation is complete. But through the "Control Panel" it doesn't behave as expected.

I have attached a sample .aip file where the behavior is replicated. It also contains an uninstall shortcut.

Hello Liviu,
I have seen a new Advanced Installer, version 21.2.1, has been released. Does the version have a fix for this issue?
