Latest Calibre upgrade requires system restart on Win7
I've just installed the latest Calibre update on Windows 7, and experienced something that I don't recall ever happening before - it needed a system restart. Any particular reason for this, Kovid?

Windows is designed by Microsoft

To expand a little on that, windows installler, the program that install's .msi files sometimes incorrectly decides a system restart is required, for example, if you happen to have open a browser window that was started because you clicked a link in calibre.

The most common reason is of course if you have some part (or the whole) of calibre running before updating, but I doubt that was the case for you.

I happened to have updated to 8.58 yesterday and no restart was required.
