Version: 0.9.4-1 (using Devel) OS: MS Windows Installed from: Compiled sources Several times when updating to 4.1.96, the kdewin installer failed to install dbus-msvc-1.2.4-1.bin.tar.bz2 Error Can't remove C:/KDE4/bin/dbus-daemon.exe [Cancel] because dbus-daemon.exe was running. I had *definitely* killed dbus-daemon before starting, I had no KDE apps running, and kdeinit4 -- shutdown works fine to stop it. I verified from task manager and kdeinit4 --list that the installer sometimes starts up dbus-daemon raound package uninstallation and/or installation. (This is separate from it starting dbus-daemon during post-processing.) But I'm not sure of the exact circumstances. Separate bug I should file Error Can't remove C:/KDE4/bin/dbus-daemon.exe [Cancel] should be Abort, Retry, Ignore
The problem was caused by using the --shutdown option of kdeinit4, which should kills applications first using a dbus call. This starts the dbus-daemon as mentioned by the reporter. This issue is fixed in svn - an updated binary release (0.9.5-rc2) will be available soon.
fixed in r913235
