Windows client installation might require a reboot
As part of the Windows client installation process, one or more Microsoft C++ redistributable packages are installed, if they are not already installed on the Windows workstation. These packages can also be automatically updated by the Windows Update service. If the packages are updated, the update can cause the system to reboot when you start the Windows client installation program.
The reboot that is triggered if the C++ redistributable packages
are updated can occur, even under any of the following conditions:
- An automatic client deployment pushes a client upgrade to a node, and the client or the scheduler sets the AUTODEPLOY=NOREBOOT option.
- A manual installation or upgrade of the client is started.
- A client silent installation is started, even if the options to suppress reboot prompts, and the client reboot itself, are set.
