I'm surprised that no one has commented on this problem.  Either is is such
an advanced question that no one has the answer, but it is such a stupid
question that the answer is obvious.  

I'm going with the latter - that this must be the most stupid question asked
all day.

Well, I don't get it, and I'm up to the wall with this stuff, and I can't
figure it out - stupid or not.

So I'll bump it and restate it, in hopes that someone has some guidelines I
can use when trying to do the following.  Jeez...

I used heat to harvest a DLL that needs to get registered on the system when
it is installed.  This DLL registers fine using regsvr32.exe.

When I uninstall this package, the system complains that the file is in use
(it *is* in use; it is a shell extension to windows explorer).

This only happens when it is a lowly user that is trying to uninstall this.

I thought that the registry registration/deregistration would happen
elevated so removing this stuff from the registry would work.  But something
is causing the user to get prompted to stop explorer so the dll can be
removed.

What is best-practice here?  Am I missing something?
