Overwright Dll in system folder
  I have a dll which gets registered properly on installation, But when i made a few changes to dll, replaced in setup and tried to install old dll is not getting replaced by new one in system folder.
It is not any system dll also it is used by another application so i cannot delete it on uninstall.
I registered it using follwing code:

!insertmacro InstallLib REGDLL $ALREADY_INSTALLED  REBOOT_PROTECTED "C:\Folder1\Usercontrol1.ocx" "$SysDir\Usercontrol1.ocx" "$SysDir"

what can i do so that new dll will replace the old one in system folder.
Thanks
