I think it tells you the files are in use, because of the way Windows makes a web of all it's programs. Even with the program shut down, there can be file indexing running which technically makes the file "in use", or something like that. Sometimes you won't be able to safely disconnect a flash drive for the same reason. You might be able to manually end processes using the task manager, but that can be risky if you shut the wrong stuff down. I wouldn't recommend that unless you know a lot about computers. If you do, don't be offended, it's just that I don't know you that well.
I'm not sure what you can do about uninstalling it, though. Have you tried just downloading and re-installing on top of your current install?
After you unintall, and the player reverts back to an old version, what happens if you try to install/upgrade the new version?
By the way, what version are you running? And what version of Windows?
