Vista quicker shutdown fix for NET Framework 2.0

[Guest Carlos]

MS released a fix for quicker shutdown of Vista when a managed service is not

managing its own state during shutdown.

The Vista™ Operating system can experience delays during shutdown if running

a managed service that was designed with a ServiceBase.OnShutdown method that

does not explicitly call the ServiceBase Stop() method on system shutdown.

This update facilitates quicker system shutdown by explicitly setting the

service state to stopped after calling their OnShutdown, if the service has

not already called the Stop() method.

Both Vista x86 and x64 downloads (just 330KB) are available here:
