Yes, NDI 3.8 installer tried that on me as well on Windows 10 PC. This is my office/work computer and I had LOTS of stuff open, so not cool that it tried to shut everything down on me without warning!
Thanks
Both my machines are Windows 10 Pro with the 1803 build. I did notice that my computer had a reboot pending from Windows Update. I don't know if that was related or if my other computer where it rebooted had the same situation (I didn't check before rebooting).
The installer was still at the initial step, with no progress on the progress bar. On both machines I couldn't focus on the window--the familiar ding saying you gotta click that other window that is over top. There were even two windows to Alt-tab between, but that didn't help me select the proper window...like the one over top was invisible or something. There was only one window on the task bar so I couldn't do the right-click move window from the imaginary external monitor (the bug in Windows that has existed for decades?).
After cancelling the reboot I came back to the installer still at no progress. On the computer where it attempted to reboot only once, it immediately sped across the progress bar and finished. On my computer where it attempted to reboot twice, it stayed at no progress until after the second reboot was cancelled, then sped across the progress bar and finished. I ended up doing a reboot anyways on both computers since most critical programs were already shut down.
Thank you so much, since the last post I've been sitting staring at the installer. I think I might have worked it out. One of the things that the new tools do (and NDI 3.8) is move everything to Visual Studo 2017 ... which should be a 10% speed improvement based on that alone (This has been a lot of work to get everything ported...). I think that the new Visual Studio 2017 redistributable installer thinks that it should reboot the computer by default ... I am going to try to get you guys a test installer tonight if I can.
I can test a new installer whenever you have it ready.
Here you go, this is a test that I built tonight ... I suspect it will fix the problem and we'll put it live tomorrow after QA testing tomorrow AM. This has a few other fixes that we have found along the way as well although there is nothing particularly important.
Andrew's experimental installer fun (TM).

What is the minimum Intel processor microarchitecture for NDI Studio Monitor?
On one of our older laptops (running Windows 10), I have the older NDI Video Monitor installed and working but NDI Studio Monitor won't. I have not tried the very latest version from 3.8, but everything past the last version of NDI Video Monitor (renamed Studio Monitor) won't work.
That laptop has a Core i5-520M w/Havendale / Clarkdale - PM55, just want that laptop to be able to monitor NDI.
