Subject: | setup.exe and replacing of in-use files |
I found pertty frustrating to have to reboot my system when simply remember to close all cygwni apps wuold have done the same effect (in fact I HATE to reboot my system ^_^)... couln't we change that pref from "automatically request reboot" to "give choice between freeing file xxxx or updating it after reboot"? Maybe only with a command-line options so that normal users don't get frustrated by a "difficult new question" (yes I just read Joel's article on GUI usability =P) I don't exclude to provide a patch for this myself, but right now I have not the time... Robert can you add it to the "to do list", if yuo and others agree that could be an useful feature?
