I too really hate installers that make you try to reboot. > Setup could also prompt the user to stop the processes before replacing > in-use files, instead of scheduling their replacement on-reboot.

If setup at least was able to determine if services or other running programs were open before beginning, it could offer a page saying, "Stop these processes or else you will probably have to reboot. Continue?" In the case of services, it should offer to stop and restart them as well.
