Thanks, Bob.

That means I will need to set some property to force a reboot then? The
default behavior doesn't prompt user about the reboot.
TIA!

The default behavior allows users to choose Ignore and proceed
with the uninstall process.
There's no built-in method to detect when files might be in use. The MSI
standard is to let the uninstall proceed and require a reboot. Refusing
to uninstall is considered more rude than requiring a reboot,
presumably. You'd have to use a custom action to do otherwise.
