If you want a use a popup, please make it aware of the --quiet option!

I run 'setup.exe --quiet' from a simple .bat script to update my 
installation (first stopping and afterwards starting again my sshd). And 
even that is not always free of popups (when files are still in use).

Therefore I can't do a fully automatic update. And I know setup.exe is 
not designed for unattended usages, but with the current command line 
options it can act like it and I do use it that way.

And could the 'file in use' message box also respect the --quiet option?

Regards,
Frank
