In the cases I have seen, Windows did a proper shutdown and reboot. I guess this has to do with the VC Runtine installation that the Windows installer is calling prior to installing and starting the Firebird service (that's why the Firebird service is still not installed after the reboot). I assume that the VC Runtime installation issues a reboot when it encounters a certain Windows setup where certain files or settings are missing. Whatever. I googled around but I didn't find any confirmation. When I install Firebird on a production machine I always hold my breath when the installation runs into the VC Runtime installation ... This is *extremely* annoying and it would be great if we could find out what is going on. Shutting down a production server without prior notice is a complete no-go, even if it is rare.
