I reinstalled vim and got the exact same message again ("Unable to extract /usr/bin/vi -- the file is use."). A simultaneous process monitor log shows that CreateFile operations result in "DELETE PENDING" ("Desired Access: Read Control, Disposition: Open, Options: Open Reparse Point, Attributes: n/a, ShareMode: Read, Write, Delete, AllocationSize: n/a"). Clicking two times on Retry (without changing anything else) let's the installation continue. I ran Process Explorer and it looks like zsh has handles open to vi, vim, view and vimdiff - although these executables are definitely not running.
