It *could* be loaded by those, yes.

winlogon does not. But services can.

Yes, *way* too much work.

The msi itself checks whether a file is in use when installing and would
prompt for the restart itself if it finds such a file. Problem is: that
doesn't work if a file is in use by an 'invisible' application (e.g.,
the cache or services or any application that doesn't show up on the
taskbar).
That's why I disabled the "files in use" dialog of the msi (you still
get that for the 1.4.x installers, where you're asked to close certain
applications before proceeding).
