Summary: The process cannot access the file ... because it is used

Initial Comment:
light.exe : fatal error LGHT0000: The process cannot 
access the file "c:\tmp\wix\PFiles\AAAFeaturesApp\hello.exe" because it is being used by another 
process.

Stack Trace:
   at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, 
String str)
   at System.IO.File.InternalCopy(String sourceFileName, 
String destFileName, Boolean overwrite)
   at 
Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Linker.CreateImage

The file is not in use. Could it be in use by some child 
process spawned by wix?

The Binder should handle these sorts of things better.
