Yep, it really did that.  It was MS's "Intellipoint" 4.0 software, installing on
W2K.  AFAICR that's the only time I've ever seen it though, that's why it caught
my attention.

But having said that, perhaps it was just looking through the list of running
apps and comparing to a list of ones which it knows will have files it's
installing open, rather than tracing the open files to the apps which have them
open (which I've seen other MS installers do).  That's not how it seemed to
present itself though.
