 Migrated from old trac:
 "If the user tries to run the Windows bundle or Vidalia-only installers
 with Vidalia, Tor, or Privoxy already running, the installer will fail to
 install the new executables with little fuss. Similarly, the uninstallers
 will fail to remove the executables if they are already in use without
 notifying the user.

 It would be better if the installers and uninstallers displayed a message
 box notifying them if tor.exe, vidalia.exe, or privoxy.exe are still
 running. Even better would be an option to kill those processes from
 within the installer, but I'm guessing NSIS doesn't let us do this very
 cleanly."
