Event ID 1005 — Windows Installer System Restart

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

Microsoft Windows Installer can determine when a restart of the computer is necessary and automatically prompt the user to restart it immediately after an application has been installed. This usually occurs if the installer needs to replace any files that are in use during the installation.
