Just because FV2 bypasses the regular login screen doesn't mean "login" isn't occurring. Login simply means the Desktop loading up as the user's profile is loaded. They likely only do it as a CYA.Īlso, to answer your question on FV2, login still occurs. My guess is MS is also aware its not actually necessary to shut down the apps beforehand. Let's put it this way - Microsoft could have easily designed their updaters to not allow for bypassing the quit function with an installer choices xml file, but its there for the using. In short, the worry about having the apps running while installing these updates is actually nothing to worry about in my experience.
But my testing has shown no issues with installing on top of running Office applications. I'm not saying its impossible for it to happen, but given that I've seen other applications go bad from updates installed while the app wasn't running, there are no guarantees of anything. I may get some flack over this from some folks, but believe me when I tell you, I've been installing Office updates over running apps now for some time using a NoQuit.xml file and the command line installer, and have not had a single instance of corrupting an app or database or anything.
