Disabling TSVN without restarting the shell doesn't help. Of course,
the msi might be fooled by this and not show the warning.

What I usually do is hit the "ignore" button in the installer. On XP,
files in use can be replaced by the msi installer. The only "problem"
you can encounter is that those apps listed as having files in use
still have the old TSVN shell dll loaded in memory, while new
instances of apps using the shell controls will load the new one.
So: until you restart those apps, you will find that they don't have
the new version of TSVN in use.
(you might encounter more problems if the protocol between the shell
and the status cache changes in between versions. Then those apps
still having the old shell dll in memory will get slow, because every
try to ask the cache for a status will fail).
