Re: setup.exe and "in-use-file"


The Window you requested is a Operating System feature request.
Under Unix you would be implementing a Curses function and Under Windows
you would implement a WIN32 Window function.

Are we talking about the same thing?


Cygwin's setup.exe is a win32-app.
It uses some Win32-API to open-files. If a file is "in use" (for example cygwin.dll while cygwin-bash is running), it displays a windows at the end, that i have to reboot my system, because the file could not be replaced.
