        Hello Roy-Ivan-Louie-Tandoc,

        do you have some additional informations like

        • which operating system
        • which npp version
        • where did you download it
        • who you are (operating system account - basically admin or nonadmin)
        • new installation or upgrade

        Cheers
        Claudia

            Hello Ivan,

            either the file is in use, meaning it hast been opened by another application, or you simply
            do not have the permission to write to the C:\Program Files (86x)\Notepad++ directory as
            the user you are currently logged on. The second one can be solved by using
            right-click “run as administrator” when executing installation script and the first one
            by either using tools like handles to find out which application has locked the file or by rebooting
            the pc.

            Cheers
            Claudia
