I would like to create a deployment package that alerted the end user of an incoming deployment via the message step. I've done this successfully however if the message times out after the "wait for" allotted time, the install proceeds. Is there any way that I can force the user to click on OK before the install starts? I'd like the user to be aware of and close the application I am updating before the install proceeds.

  Create a powershell step first:

  exit (new-object -ComObject wscript.shell).Popup("Install Application xxxxx now? (Click Yes, otherwise No)",120,"Package Install?",36)

  and use the "Success Code" 6 under Details for this step. Return Code 6 is "Yes"

  EDIT

  The Powershell step needs to be run as "Logged on User" - set ist up under Options inside the step.

  There is anyway to configure when the user selects "no" the job repeat the question after one hour for example?
