Could it be something similar to this issue? This is for a completely unrelated software, but it came to mind when I read about your issue.

Btw: you are uninstalling and completely removing all traces of the old plugins when you install the new ones, right? The only time I don't do that is if the installer I'm running is an update-only release. I use Revo Uninstaller to install all plugins and software (except for system-related stuff like drivers etc). It monitors and logs all new files and registry keys that an installer adds, so when I later uninstall a software, every trace of it gets removed. The only exception is if a software has added new files, folders or keys after the installation. This is why Revo recommends to run the installed software once before you stop the monitoring/tracing and save the log file. It's not something that will fix your issue now, but I can recommend using it simply because it saves time (instead of manually looking for and remove leftovers) and can prevent future issues arising from not removing leftovers.

Last time I read about this error, I'm pretty sure someone said the error message was misleading because it was due to files being in use and not memory. IIRC they had to close RivaTuner and MSI AfterBurner (or stop them from launching at start up and reboot)
