Sadly not a lot of response. This is my best stab at it so far:
<Binary Id="taskkill" src='C:\Windows\system32\taskkill.exe'/>
<CustomAction Id='KillWSQ' BinaryKey="taskkill" ExeCommand='/im
wsq95.exe /t /f' Return="asyncNoWait" ></CustomAction>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='KillWSQ'
After="InstallInitialize">Installed</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
If nothing cleaner comes along then I'll have to put a switch into the
exe that will force it to kill itself and any other copies of itself
currently running.
I'm surprised that the uninstall doesn't fail and only give this in the
log (The file is removed dispite it being in use! And the process is
still running with the real path to the exe that is removed. It has a
failed to load file error in the sysinternals process explorer:
