461 Installer (over 459)....

Your computer must be restarted to include Beyond Compare in the Explorer context menu.

Chrisjj,

That may or may not be true... Since I have a single user, multiple computer license, I have done exactly that. One one computer not so much as a peep when I installed 460 on one computer, but it insisted on rebooting the other.

Later, when I installed 461, neither computer required a reboot.

So, perhaps it should be reworded to may require a reboot.

In this instance it was not.

Perhaps it should not appear when it is incorrect.

Thanks, Chris. A more correct statement would be something like this:
"Your computer must be restarted to include an update to Beyond Compare's Explorer context menu."

[chrisjj]

"Your computer must be restarted to include an update to Beyond Compare's Explorer context menu."

Actually I saw no evidence that is true either. Further, I see no "Beyond Compare's Explorer context menu". I see a Beyond Compare command on Explorer's context menu. And though I have not yet restarted the machine, I suffer no problems in its operation.

In build 460 we released a new version of BCShellEx, the Explorer shell extension that manages BC's entries in the context menu. The changelog mentions a fix under the "Misc" section.

I don't doubt it

Perhaps you ought to settle for "Please restart your computer to include an update to Beyond Compare's Explorer context menu command(s)." which at least cannot be inaccurate.
