    Thanks Giles. I have spotted this on my server. Uninstall of 32 and install of 45, and it rebooted before it got to the main installer but after I ran the installer exe (so it fits in with your theory). That's on Windows Server 2012R2 and all updates were up to date :)

    I've just witnessed this myself during the installation of the SQL CE 3.5 prerequesit, I saw a yellow triangle flash up and the VM instantly went into 'installing updates'. 

    I reset the VM back to a clean checkpoint, tried again, quickly installing MooD. It didn't happen.

    One possible theory here, is that a recent windows update required a machine restart, but hadn't prompted for it; when the CE 3.5 redist executes, maybe it can't install until this pending update has been executed & machine restarted.

    it's likely that if you apply updates and restart your machine before installing MooD, this will be less likely to happen.
