Thank you for clearing that up. After I put execute=once the debug said it had no problems.

Another question I had was how can I have the program install the required packages/updates while showing the user it is doing it, like in the screenshots section of the wiki? It has a picture of the programs installing and it says please wait dont power off your computer.

Thanks!
