More properly, Windows locks dlls that it *thinks are in use*, which may or may not be the actual case. It's not unheard of for a program to terminate (typically abnormally) and for Windows to not realize that the dll is now free. More likely in complex programs with lots of interacting dlls. Especially if one dll calls things in another dll. There is a tool around that lets you look at what Windows is thinking, but I can't recall the name. I just reboot before doing things like installations.
