Hi Anders,

as mentioned I think the issue is on `comp-delete-or-replace-file'.
This is probably trying to delete a file that Windows does not allow to
be deleted (being a shared library still a loaded).

As you can see `comp-delete-or-replace-file' has some specific Windows
handling that someone on a Windows system should debug ;)

Thanks

  Andrea
