| Claudio Driussi | Delete XPPNAT.DLL file (1.9)
on Fri, 31 Aug 2018 07:57:29 +0200I would like to delete the file XPPNAT.DLL, but after have used
my application I can't even if the app is closed.
When I try, I get the message "Unable to delete because the
file is opened in System".
I must to restart the PC, but I can't because I'm in terminal
server an I have many users attached.
There is a way or utility to close the file and then delete it?
And why it remain opened even if not in use?
Many thanks.

Why you want to delete a .dll file ? It is not doing any harm even if kept
opened by OS. I am curious.

Because I'm about to migrate to Xbase++ 2.0 and I have to replace
old DLL's with the new ones.

To do this type of replacing exe/dll, the best approach is to use 'run at
startup' approach.

Yes but I have to restart the PC and I would like to avoid that.
And I wonder that only that DLL stay locked.

I hope that someone has a solution for this problem.
We also often have this problem when we want to install the new xBase
V2.0 dll's. We use Inno setup to do the installation.
XPPNAT.DLL is the only dll with this problem.

This usually happens. The application may release the DLL, but the OS keeps
it in memory, just in case somebody else on the network needs it. It does
release most of the time after a few minutes.
We did two things:
block make sure nobody else could start the app while waiting to update
run a loop to check if the DLL is still in use (try renaming or so)
