MSI tries to reduce reboots. That's why it checks whether files it needs
to replace are in use and gives the user a chance to close them before
proceeding. Only if you ignore that or if you can't close the
application, then a reboot is scheduled (the "you need to reboot" dialog
at the end of the installation).
The problem TSVN has when installing: you can't really "close" the
explorer process because the *desktop* itself is an explorer instance.
MSI isn't really good at this and doesn't always schedule a reboot,
that's why we *force* the reboot in our msi.

Just sent the TortoiseUDiff.exe and the debug symbols to your private mail.
