Even with it disabled I still think it is used. From the log: MSI (s) (AC:38) [16:52:55:648]: RESTART MANAGER: Disabled by MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL property; Windows Installer will use the built-in FilesInUse functionality.
Then a bit later: MSI (s) (AC:D4) [16:53:05:170]: RESTART MANAGER: Detected that application with id 3092, friendly name 'zzz Service', service short name 'zzzSvc', of type RmService and status 1 holds file[s] in use.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Files in use I disabled restart manager in 2 ways, with the property MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL set to Disable and by removing the MsiRMFilesInUse dialog but I still get the FileInUse dialog. I think that means it is not directly attributable to restart manager. I did find a KB article that said that WI 4.5 fixed a file in use problem with case sensitivity of service names but I am using 4.5 on both systems (and 5.0 on Windows 7). I am not sure where to go from here, any help much appreciated.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Files in use The difference between Vista and XP is the RestartManager. IIRC, there are a few things you can do to suppress the RestartManager usage via MSIRM type properties... that might get you closer.
