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.
