...and on this issue: "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." A verbose log might show something, but my SWAG is that Windows may be just following the security restrictions for a limited user. Most limited users do not have the privilege to reboot the system, and limited users don't get elevated privilege just because they're doing an uninstall. So maybe Windows is stuck with a quandary - it can't let this account automatically reboot the system because it doesn't have the rights.

If so, then you don't need the regsrv32 call, which is the self-reg call that usually creates all the trouble.
