While updating foobar2001 I always need to close explorer.exe in Task Manager

I'm a longtime Foobar2000 user and there was a time when it didn't happened.
It's a problem I had since maybe 1 year everytime when I was updating. Can't remember having changed anything on my system. I'm on Win7.

Ehem well while writing this, the installer was still in the background for 2 minutes or so and I clicked now repeat or retry installation and now it worked without force closing explorer.exe. Seems my system need more time to close everything before the installation works. I thought the installer closes a running f2k process automatically and immediately.
Nevermind seems like only the delay could confuse new users.
