Yeah, but in the case of calibre, if the problem persists then something is broken or something is interfering with the install - malware maybe.

Much of the software that asks the user to do a restart after an install only does so on order to make the software appear to be more sophisticated than it actually is - i.e. the vendor is engaging in sophistry. Same with 'close all other programs', if MS can install OS patches while I'm still using the system then...
