A warning message may be in order for Stardock products. 
WindowBlinds free standing has a warning of sorts where the installer presents a text message, and an 'unload WindowBlinds' button during install process.
Adobe tells you to unload any open Adobe products to avoid the need to reboot.
This may be a good direction for all software companies to go.
The old school approach (where my teachers learned and taught me), is to unload all programs, return Windows to the default settings - and then proceed to install new (or updated) software.
Too late for your case, Jonep, but may serve as a helpful hint to those reading.

There might be something with standby mode, not sure. But if you search the net for standby and hibernate mode there's some complaint about it not working perfectly.
...hm... I just came to think of something... I'm updating OD+ on my laptop as we speak. ...type... ehhrr.. anyways, I put that in standby and hibernate alot. Hope the same thing wont happend here. We'll see in a minute.
btw, what anti-virus program do you have?

| There should be a warning for apps like ObjectDock or RightClick to NOT quitting them before an update. Settings will be gone. I NEVER end Stardock apps before an update. |
