Just Curious ...Windows restarting after an install
« on: May 11, 2005, 02:16:59 pm »

Why does windows need to be restarted when MC 11 is installed? This seems to have only appeared on the last two builds. ?

I too have had one of my systems need the reboot with each of the last few builds.  This is particularly odd since the other system I use (my HTPC which is nearly identically configured) has not needed the reboot.  In the past, the system that now always needs it never did unless I forgot to close MC before the install (or something equally dumb).

The one that needed the reboot was the one that had the options dialog / file associations (OGM related) thing a little while back.  Dunno if that's related...

This should sort itself out in a build or two and then reboots will not normally be required.
