I built the installer myself.

I tried that on a physical machine with an on-access virus scanner enabled and disabled, and also on a virtual machine (VirtualBox) with no virus scanner installed. Makes no difference.

I also used "Process Explorer" (www.sysinternals.com) to find any other process that might have the directory open, but there wasn't any. If you know any other tools for that, let me know.
