update issue w/o solution

[kwpv356]

I'm getting the "Error opening file for writing: C:\Program Files\REAPER (x64)\reaper.exe" business when trying the latest upgrade.

I have:
-shut off all running instances of reaper. in fact, nothing is running at all.
-detected and removed old install versions.

BTW, I'm not really a newb, but this seems like a problem with a simple solution that I havent' come across before!

Thanks

Get rid of your reaper files and do a clean reinstall?
Don't forget to note your plugin locations and of course back up your projects!

you've checked the task manager? What about a restart?

Try rebooting your computer before installing.

shut down, restart= download complete!

Sometimes you have to wonder whether Microsoft actually realises we are no longer in the 20th century.....

My fave spoof Windows alert screen reads: "Windows has crashed. Would you like some wine?"

Now if it REALLY did that.....
