Upgrade from ERA 6.5.34 - is reboot required

[katbert 3]

I'm in process of manual update from ERA 6.5.34.0 to v7 using this article: https://support.eset.com/KB6925/

I successfully completed first step - upgrade server using Server_x64.msi. But in Application Windows log I see event 1029 from MsiInstaller: Product: ESET Security Management Center Server. Restart required. The installation or update for the product required a restart for all changes to take effect.  The restart was deferred to a later time.

Should I restart the Windows Server  now or later - after updating Tomcat?

I try to uninstall Tomcat and install new version of Tomcat using all-in-one installer without reboot.

But all-in-one installer require reboot.

Why Server_x64.msi don't ask for reboot, if it is needed?

We are not aware of any reason why restart should be required. It is most probably required by Windows installer, maybe to properly remove previous version. Regardless of that, ESMC should be fully operational even without restart, there are no drivers that require loading into system or similar requirements.
