Vista - Windows Explorer "Files In Use" VPC 2007SP1

08-16-2008

When trying to upgrade my VPC 2007 installation to VPC 2007 SP1 I am getting
the following warning dialog: "Files In Use" : Windows Explorer (Process ID:
xxxx) some files cannot be replaced because they are in use Retry, Ignore or
Exit.

Repeated attempts to Retry return the same dialog. However this is happening
after a clean restart of my Vista Ultimate SP1 and the only Explorer running
is the one which provides my desktop. So What gives?

I have pressed Ignore and the installation (eventually) completes apparently
OK.

My question is, has everything that should have been upgraded, in fact been
upgraded? Or am I left with a incomplete upgrade that will cause problems
down the line?

Hi Nigel,

I've had no problems here after following the "ignore" route.
