It's good, but how to catch "file in use" moment (before any file copy
operation) to show dialog ?
Maybe somehow that :
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="MyFileInUseCheck" Before="InstallFiles" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
MyFileInUseCheck is custom action, that check file and show FilesInUse
dialog, when file locked.
It will work ?
