[not reproducible] Installer should ask for Windoes restart in DirectX is updated (1 Viewer)

[mswiege]

MediaPortal Version: 1.2.0 beta
MediaPortal Skin: StreamedMP
Windows Version: Vista x64

After installing the new beta the installer updated the DirectX installation. After the installation I tried starting up MediaPortal and it froze during the start up screen. The error log showed Exceptions like this:
[ERROR][MPMain(1)]: D3D: InitializeDeviceObjects - Exception: Error in the application.
-2147024882 (E_OUTOFMEMORY)
at Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Font..ctor(Device device, Font font)
at MediaPortal.GUI.Library.GUIFont.InitializeDeviceObjects()
at MediaPortal.GUI.Library.GUIFontManager.InitializeDeviceObjects()
at MediaPortalApp.InitializeDeviceObjects()
at MediaPortal.D3DApp.InitializeEnvironment()

After restarting Windows the problem went away and MediaPortal started without problems again.
So I think the installer should ask for a Windows Reboot in case the DirectX had to be updated.

Hmm... OK, but where should I post it than? Didn't find another bug report forum for 1.2.x

That is not required.
No idea what went "wrong" in your case that it needed a reboot. Never seen such before.
