What is the recommend process for detecting if a component being installed is already in use and prompting the user to retry after they stop it from running?

Sorry, my oritinal response was for SUF, nto MSI

I don't think that there is an MSI feature to do this. You would have to use a dll or exe in a custom action. The Lua Script dll should be able to close a running process so this could be a good workaround.
