Yes I am deploying an application with Qt dlls which are put in my install folder. When I test with running my application and uninstall, the process is killed and the FilesInUse is triggered. But it indicates to close my "Qt Assistant" which is launched before my test.
I put down the log it says the "Qt Assistant" holds some Qt dll from my install folder. That's strange! Info 1603. The file C:\MyApplicationFolder\phonon4.dll is being held in use by the following process: Name: assistant, Id: 6820, Window Title: '(not determined yet)'. Close that application and retry. ....
