Install completes after reboot
« on: July 02, 2005, 11:40:27 am »

On installing this build there wasn't a message to restart the computer.  However, when I rebooted this morning, a window opened with a progress bar and a message, Completing JRiver Media Center Installation.  Should a reboot message have followed the installation or was the Completing install window that I got on rebooting erroneous?

I confirm this

It's normal.  We made a change recently that only requires rebooting for major changes.  If the change can wait for the next reboot, that's what MC does now.

Can some kind of message be put up that this will happen? I never turn my computer off and only occasionally have to reboot it for OS patch installs or such. If in a week or two I reboot and see MC finishing the install from a long time ago, I will totally think something is wrong.

It shouldn't be necessary but in the interests of having a clean stable machine I always advocate a restart after installing or removing any software or drivers.

An answer and confirmation on this from J River would be nice.

MC won't require an immediate reboot for fixes that are considered non-critical.  You could go on another year.

I must say that I also find this a bit odd. What's the sense in installing an update if we don''t know that it requires a reboot to be fully installed?

It had been at least 3  weeks since I last restarted my machine and  after reading this board, I restarted my computer and sure enuff there was the message.
