I agree, except that many other installers attempt to restart explorer.exe at
the end of the installation process. For example, the installers of
cloud/encryption services like SpiderOak or BoxCryptor, which also need to
close explorer during installation, do exactly that. If there are still
scenarios in which the current LibreOffice version's installer needs to close
explorer.exe, than that would be a welcome functionality for non-tech savvy
users, as many of them do not know how to start explorer.exe manually when
their task bar and start menu have disappeared.
