Troubleshooting steps
Users are running into problems upgrading OpenSSH over an OpenSSH connection when using the chocolatey package because there are OpenSSH files in use.

Since OpenSSH targets older versions of Windows, it should provide a native MSI for direct usage or usage by the chocolatey package so that it has the ability to natively replace in use files and detect the resultant reboot condition.

Reproduction Steps:
On a machine that does not have openssh via Windows Features on Demand.

  1. Install OpenSSH
  2. Logon to machine using OpenSSH
  3. Attempt to upgrade OpenSSH (Chocolatey or any means)

Please answer the following

"OpenSSH for Windows" version
((Get-Item (Get-Command sshd).Source).VersionInfo.FileVersion)

Server OperatingSystem
((Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows nt\CurrentVersion\" -Name ProductName).ProductName)
