Yes, this is what setup*.exe does if the DLL it's trying to replace is
in use.  setup*.exe will warn you about such cases and ask if you want
to continue (and have to reboot to complete the installation) or if you
prefer to kill the app using the DLL.  You apparently missed that and
ended up with the former option.

FYI, this is not the recommended way to handle this, since it leaves
a scheduled DLL move on reboot in an unpredictable state.  So if you
see a DLL with this extension in the future, just reboot.

Right, see above.
