Installing Silverlight tools while Orcas open

Installing Silverlight tools while Orcas open

Hi,

I was a little inpatience to install the tools for Orcas and forgot to close an instance down.  Installer started fine, but when it came up Files in Use, nothing was listed but had the Cancel, Retry, Ignore buttons.

After closing everything and clicking Retry it worked OK.  Just thought I would let you know.  Shame it required a reboot and in the VPC it reset my screen resolution and wasn't happy auto-resetting itself. Not sure if thats related to the install.

PS. Sorry and Duplicate posts eariler :(

Thanks for letting us know. The installer does not require a reboot if you don't have VS open while using it. =) If any files it needs to write are locked it schedules them for replacement on reboot and then requests the reboot.
