Thanks Andreas!
Yes, this would be a solution. One of my components is also a plug-in. I
heard though that there is a way to setup some kind of
I remember using a Windows API to copy files at boot time if they are in use
MoveFileEx (?). Otherwise, files to be copied are copied in a batch file
which is run at boot time through runonce key.
This was before MSI and WIX.
MSi and WIX may have an easier and more acceptable way of doing it a
a new
copy and runs that.
Of course you still need a core launcher app to deal with, but overall I
find this works reasonably well.

I have a requirement where installation needs to proceed even if the exe
(actually any installable component) is running and loaded in the memory. The
installation should be silent and whenever currently running executable is
closed the next startup should proceed with the newly installed one.
