Hello. Is there a way to have pre/post install messages when installing software from the portal (Software Library). One complaint I get from users is that they don't know when the install is completed.
Answer Summary:
I created pre/post install messages using autoit. I ran the pre.exe before my install, and the post.exe after. There's probably a better way, but I still new to autoit. $answer = MsgBox(1, "Software Restart", "Your computer need to be restarted to complete your install. Click OK to restart now.") If $answer = 2 Then Exit EndIf If $answer = 1 Then Shutdown(4) EndIf

Not sure about the Portal doing that but what you could do is create a script that they could run from the portal and it can contain a all done message. Depending on the application I would assume they could see a shortcut on their Desktop or New application message from the Start button but again that could be application dependent.

Further to nshah's comment you can actually use the KACE notification app to post a message the same as the agent does for other things via a script.
