New Update system for PA 2010 11.70 - discussion thread
-
Guys I think it’s great. One more thing - every time I make an update I have to manually end my explorer.exe process (if I don’t, it will think for a long time and then ask me to do so) and then reinitiate it.
Are you benchmarking on Vista/win7 with UAC activated?I have this one too and not just on one system or OS either (all my PCs are multibooting).

Windows Restart Manager is Vista/Win7 feature, thats only where you can have it ;-).

So that’s where I have it:). I was deliberately vague and did not specify the OS ;).
It’s quite common and explorer.exe always automatically restarts. Mildly inconvenient at most.

you mean the slowness is common or restart is common? I believe Explorer gets prevented by some apps to do proper restart, I had that problem with Win7 RC’s, but is gone now (i also have less apps installed).
But the whole point is that when some installation needs to replace file which is in use by system, unlike before, it shuts down that application first, install new software, and restarts it (in this case Explorer)… in XP and before, you had to restart your computer which was rather inconvinient ;-)

Sorry for not explaining properly,
It is quite common for the PA install/upgrade to have to close down explorer.exe. Explorer always starts again automatically and the whole business is a minor inconvenience so I’ve never bothered reporting it.

yes, thats the way Windows Restart Manager works ;-). There is no other way to replace system files (such as pa shell extensions dlls) than to close explorer, replace them and restart it. Windows Restart Manager is new feature of Vista/Win7 that Windows Installer (MSI) uses and is mandatory.
Previously, you had to either manually do that, or restart your computer.

All good news about v 12 but is there a list of goodies (ex wishlist) that will be available in the new version ?

not yet…. some things are done, some are not.
there is time to create wishlists still too, so if you have anything in mind, write it up ;-)
