Hello WiX community,

This question is of "what's the best practice" type. :)

According to SDK, if Windows Installer tries to remove a file in use,
which is not EXE, doesn't have a window with title (and a couple of more
conditions), it just sets the ReplacedInUseFiles property to 1, and
hence will show a dialog "You must reboot your system... " at the end.
For instance, an SQLite database locked by aspnet_wp perfectly fits this
case...

On the other hand, WinLogo specs have a requirement that installation
program must not require reboot. Obviously, the above case doesn't
satisfy this requirement.

So, what's the compromise? Is it a good practice to suppress reboot
setting the REBOOT property? What's the best practice working with
"reboot mechanism" in general?

Thank you!
