You need to reboot because it is attempting to replace in-use DLLs, which Windows isn't good at. Long story short, it does it by telling Windows "Next time you start, please copy this file over that file before loading." Just restarting bash isn't enough, since the DLLs are requested dynamically, and haven't actually been changed until you reboot. ~Matt On 10/28/06, Mike Maxwell wrote: > Charles Wilson wrote: > > Mike Maxwell wrote: > >> Charles Wilson wrote: > >> > Did setup.exe warn you to reboot? > >> > >> Yes, it did.
