That would answer my question, thanks Franz. I'll have a look into a work around ...
Simon >From the Windows Installer Documentation: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372059.aspx If you expect the installer to display a FilesInUseDialog, but it does not, this may be due to one of the following reasons: The files in use are not executables. The installer is not actually trying to install those files. The process holding those files is the process invoking the installation. The process holding those files is one that does not have a window with a title associated with it. Since your "wsq95.exe" is not listed in the application list, that means it doesn't have a window with a title associated with it. So Windows Installer does not detect that the file is in use...
