Recently updated approximately 250 users with a silent install of TortoiseSVN 10.10.1.28295 using just the normal MSI params of "/QN /L*v $logpath".
Most machines were running version 1.9.7.27907. During the install, the MSI failed due to not having permission to the "C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin" even while running as SYSTEM. Further research led me to https://dandar3.blogspot.com/2012/04/tortoisesvn-installation-insufficient.html from way back in 2012 regarding the TSVNCache.exe process locking that folder. Testing it out on my users showed this to be the cause; once TSVNCache.exe was killed, the original silent script worked as expected. Can this process be killed or gracefully closed from within the installer MSI to mitigate this behavior?
