We have a hotfix installer that replaces the old dll with a new dll in Program Files/GAC. It opens a handle for the file being replaced. So while replacement, if we do not close this handle, an error is coming up - "Access Denied".
In some products of our team itself, we are not seeing this error (using the same hotfix installer). The plausible reason for this behavior which we could think of is the automatic closure of open handles by the windows installer service. So, the question is, is our assumption correct regarding this behavior of windows installer ? If yes, why are we encountering the errors as said above ? Can it be due to the difference in the way msi was authored for these products ? We would be happy to give more information on this, if needed.
