--- Comment #17 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
If I understand it correctly, the problem discussed here is specific to the
warning issued by installer that some files required to be updated are in use
by Microsoft Windows Search Filter Host.

This is not a bug. Since LibreOffice provides an Explorer extension (a DLL)
capable of providing data to the Windows Search, it's normal that at times the
Windows Search indexing service is active, the shell extension is used. When
it's used, it naturally can't be updated without a restart. And this is not a
bug or error. This is not something that might or should be changed. The
warning tells that reboot would be required if user doesn't shut down the
process, and suggests rebooting if used does not stop the service.

The installation errors mentioned in comment 1 might be an unrelated, or
specific to some old version of installer (I doubt the latter, actually).

Despite use of Windows Restart Manager was included in LibreOffice Windows
installer, the Restart Manager can only automatically restart processes owned
by currently logged on user, so it cannot restart services.

I propose to close it NOTABUG.
