you are doing a quiet install or haven't defined a filesinuse dialog
with the appropriate controls, the default behaviour is equivalent to
selecting ignore. That is, windows installer overwrites what files
it can, renames and replaces other files, and schedules a reboot.
What I am aiming to do is instead just fail and exit the installation
immediately.
I agree with that interpretation; unfortunately, I don't think there's
any way to do it, short of an external UI handler to catch the
INSTALLMESSAGE_FILESINUSE message. That will require an external .exe as
the handler, except in the case of MSI 4.5, where it can be embedded in
the .msi package.
