Which version do you have of VS that installs without requiring a restart? Because I have vs2013 ultimate and each time I install it in a new machine I have to restart it (maybe two times if I have also to activate hyper-v)
2013 pro; IIRC it was the same for 2012 pro, rest is too long ago to remember but I'm pretty sure it hasn't been like that always :]. You got me thinking now though: I don't think I ever installed on a fresh machine without any previous installations of VS where possibly the prerequisites would require a restart.
