I'd still shut it down. From the name of the file I'm guessing it might have something to do with web services. It could have opened a connection and the network stack could be keeping that dll open
Another option is to download process explorer and run it on the server (it doesn't require an install) and search for what is using that file and kill the handle. You can get process explorer from Microsoft's site as it is a former sysinternals utility. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx J.T.

We are not doing an install ... just replacing the files. One of the files that need to be replaced is arxmlutil70.dll. The ARS services are stopped. When I tried to copy the new 'arxmlutil70.dll' it gives me the error that the file is in used by another user or application. Any clue? There is nothing in the Read me file of patch 009 regarding this and I cannot download any of the previous read-me file (some firewall issue) ARS 7.01 patch 003 Windows MSSQL 2005 Thanks Pascale Boyer 503-745-2159 If you are not the intended addressee, please inform us immediately that you have received this e-mail in error, and delete it.
