First I have to say I know nothing about WHS but presumably you are calling some interface to register the addin, is there an unregister addin interface you could call on uninstall?
In use files should be automatically replaced when you restart. You can also use the <util:CloseApplication> to stop an application so that the file isn't in use.

I've settled for the major update, removing any previous version of the add-in. But I'm facing two issues: - WHS is creating an additional registry key in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Home Server\RegisteredAdditions. This key isn't deleted when the add-in is uninstalled. Thus I end up with multiple entries for every update/version i've created. The normal "Add/Remove Apps" applet is fine. Any idea how this can be fixed? All I've come up with is removing the corresponding key on uninstalls. But this seems like a hack. - While updating an add-in from the WHS console, the old version obviously is still running and being used by the console. Thus uninstalling it fails. How can I replace a file which is still being used? WHS Console requires a restart anyway. Is there some "replace file asap"?
