This results in the hook DLL staying in use while the new installer runs and can't replace the required files. This results in a reboot being required. It doesn't matter what version of Windows you are using, it can happen in any version. Ideally all applications will let go quickly, but in some cases a reboot is required. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/installer-requires-reboot-on-win-7-x86-but-not-on-win-7-x64/?ID=3f2b7582-e5f6-46d7-8451-06e72512c542#2 Mon, 30 Nov 2009 06:31:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/installer-requires-reboot-on-win-7-x86-but-not-on-win-7-x64/?ID=3f2b7582-e5f6-46d7-8451-06e72512c542#2 DisplayFusion Not here.

Bug in installer? Should it not require a reboot on x64 as well? ]]>
