Installer deleting installed files if machine isn't rebooted

Hello,

My installer puts down a couple of dll's. When uninstalling, if the dll's are in use it will ask the user to reboot when it's done. If the user doesn't reboot, and then re-installs, the dll's are deleted the next time the machine is rebooted. I was wondering, is there a way to unmark the files for deletion if it is re-installed, so they will not be deleted on reboot? Where is the info stored that tells it to delete files on reboot? Any help anyone can give me will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris
