Some googling on this (since it's a MSI error and not a pg one) shows
that it has something to do with files in use that cannot be replaced.
Normally it handles the pg files well, but try shutting down the service
before you upgrade. If you have any client services (including IIS)
running that's using the ODBC or libpq drivers, try shutting them down
as well.
Just to make sure you have all the files :)
