How to replace a file that is in use by the OS

Hi NG,

as the subject says. I have my own setup-application and while i install my
application i must replace a file in the windows-system32-directory
(mapi32.dll) that is in use by windows. Sometime in the past i had read
something about that but i did not fint that anymore. AFAIK i had to restart
the computer and while the PC is booting the file is replaced with WIN-API.
Can you please bring some light into my darkness?

Kind Regards
Orro
