When installing a number of apps, does it make any difference if youwait reboot?
Running XP Pro, SP3. Just did a clean reinstall and reinstalling a
number of apps. I notice some ask you to reboot, some don't. Does it make any difference if you wait to reboot after installing all the apps or should you reboot after each one? Could it cause problems if you don't? Thanks. |

In theory it might cause a problem.
Say you are running verion A of a library. You install a program and it installs version B but A is in use so the change won't show up until you reboot. A third program might think you are running A and install itself to cope with that rather than version B which you will be on when you do reboot. This though is mostly a theoretical problem. It would rarely happen and lots of programs ask for a reboot they don't really need. I usually compromise. When doing a mass reinstall I don't reboot after every new program install but do when a few have asked me to. |
