Some settings of MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL disable the MsiRMFilesInUse dialog, the docs are clear on that, and don't turn off the entire files-in-use detection. Did you use Disable or DisableShutdown?
What's the Wait value in your ServiceControl element? I'd expect to see a log entry saying that the service will be stopped due to "a service control action before the files are updated", and I'm wondering if it wants the Wait value to wait for the service to stop, otherwise the service process might still be running when its files need updating.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Files in use Even with it disabled I still think it is used. From the log: MSI (s) (AC:38) [16:52:55:648]: RESTART MANAGER: Disabled by MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL property; Windows Installer will use the built-in FilesInUse functionality. Then a bit later: MSI (s) (AC:D4) [16:53:05:170]: RESTART MANAGER: Detected that application with id 3092, friendly name 'zzz Service', service short name 'zzzSvc', of type RmService and status 1 holds file[s] in use.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Files in use I disabled restart manager in 2 ways, with the property MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL set to Disable and by removing the MsiRMFilesInUse dialog but I still get the FileInUse dialog. I think that means it is not directly attributable to restart manager. I did find a KB article that said that WI 4.5 fixed a file in use problem with case sensitivity of service names but I am using 4.5 on both systems (and 5.0 on Windows 7). I am not sure where to go from here, any help much appreciated.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Files in use The difference between Vista and XP is the RestartManager. IIRC, there are a few things you can do to suppress the RestartManager usage via MSIRM type properties... that might get you closer.
