Ah, I've seen that happen and was wondering about that. Is there some way to resolve it, maybe to use a later version of MSI?

On a somewhat related note, I recently switched back and forth between a couple of versions to try to replicate an issue and was struck by the odd selection of processes it wanted to kill.

I know shell extensions are pervasive and worm their way into anything that uses a File Dialog (ie. most apps, eventually), but I noticed it was asking to kill some apps that had only recently been started and definitely had never shown a file dialog (in particular, Skype, Outlook, and Thunderbird). While it's possible that maybe they used some other shell API that caused TSVN to get loaded (I didn't check) it did make me wonder if maybe it was something else triggering it, perhaps an MSVC runtime file? If so, maybe it could check whether it will actually need to replace it before complaining that apps are using it?

(Unfortunately, the installer UI doesn't say which file is making it want to close those apps. Is there a way of logging that, maybe, to confirm?)
