In principle, yes; in practice, Windows has trouble upgrading files that you are currently running; that's why if you're upgrading setuptools on Windows, it's better to use ez_setup.py (since it's not changed by upgrades). I hope to have a fix for this issue, but it's probably still weeks away as I've got quite a backlog of other issues for setuptools. :(
