Agreed, it doesn't look like it can kill them forcibly but there is an option to set a property when it can't so that the installer can abort or prompt the user if the application doesn't close. It depends on whether the user is in danger of losing any work if you terminate the process. There is still the Files In Use dialog as a second line of defence too (although I have once seen a user ignore that and expect an uninstall to work without rebooting).

It doesn't look like it can. If you need to forcibly kill something you might need a custom action to run taskkill or some custom code that does the job.
