When you run your upgrade, at some point in time it will do a RemoveExistingProducts which is the uninstall of the prior version. Assuming the new setup has a ServiceControl to stop the installing service: If your upgrade has REP towards the end of the install, then the sequence is that your servic

You haven't said (or I missed it) if you're using ServiceControl - you can use that to shut down the service and restart it after the upgrade. In most cases that will mitigate any files-in-use situations because Windows looks at the ServiceControl table to see if the service will be shut down. Tha

Rule number 15 of setups: people would rather hack around in the registry than use an actual API that provides the answer. In this case, you or the system can call MsiEnumRelatedProducts() passing in the UpgradeCode, and it will return installed products that have that UpgradeCode. http://msdn.mi
