"Sharing Violation" when Installing 3.7.3

<< < (2/2)

Boggin:
Try a direct download then in normal and Safe Mode and see if you get the same error.

coover:
OK, I have downloaded the file directly from you and .... installation in "normal" mode fails ... same error. I also downloaded the Portable file, let's see if that works ... Application opens, that is a decent work around ... now safe mode ... yes, it installed in safe mode ... rebooting to the standard version of Win 10 ... Windows Repair opens properly.

Apparently, I had to install this in the safe mode. I don't think this is an anti-virus issue, though, as I am only running Windows Defender. I've never seen that interfering with an install, but, of course, there is always a first time .

Boggin:
Windows Firewall can be a bit finicky at times but it's still usually active in Safe Mode with Networking - perhaps trying it again in a clean boot may give you the answer if you want to go a bit deeper to find the cause.

Shane:
Sharing violation means the file is locked and the program that is trying to open it isnt allowed to, they are not sharing like they should :-).

That is normally caused by an antivirus scanning the file right when you are trying to open it.
