[QUOTE="elliottmc, post: 720151, member: 14268"] I didn't see such a statement, but there is more to this than forcing a reboot. The TVService runs as exactly that - a Windows service. There are many settings for services, including the ability to autostart the service when windows boots, to automatically restart a service if it is not running (crashes), etc. Any change to the installer would have to make sure it copes with all situations. If I am going to be blunt, the reason this is happening is because the update was needed quickly (because people are installing SP1), and was released quickly. This is a response to circumstances. The last thing the team should do now is rush out another update to fix this one, and then find that it doesn't work properly and is no better (or even worse). Honestly, none of this is 'trivial'. If you think it is, then maybe you know better than the team, and could download the sources and fix the problem.
