2009/01/13 - 1.1.10

• [Bug #6] [installer] The installer will now remind the user to log off and log back on after the installation is completed if the installer determines that it is necessary (when updating an existing installation, the shell process needs to be restarted in order to get it to load the new version into memory).
  
• [Bug #7] [Localizations] Changed the access key for the Greek translation.
  
• [Bug #18] [installer] Fixed Windows 7 installation error.
  

Update: 2009/01/14 - Refreshed the installer to fix a minor bug that prevented the temp files used by the installer from being cleaned up after install in certain cases. No other changes were made, and the binaries within the installer are unchanged.
