      Trying to install v6.8.8
      When I run the installation program I get the following error:

      Error opening file for writing:

      C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\SciLexer.dll

      Click Abort to stop the installation,
      Retry to try again, or
      Ignore to skip this file.

      Can someone please assist.
      Thanks

        Hello @Grant-Sharon-Esler,

        are you an administrator?
        Is there a chance that this file already exists and is locked by another process?

        Cheers
        Claudia

          @Claudia-Frank Hi, yes I have admin rights and no the file doesn’t exist. Have checked all the logical things.
          Thanks

            Hello @Grant-Sharon-Esler,

            the message is normally very clear, it should be something like that.
            Are you 100% sure, that no other process (old npp installation?) is locking it?
            Maybe a reboot and another try will fix it !?

            Cheers
            Claudia
