Unable to Use 'Desktop' for Installation

Keywords: install, desktop, desktop icon Cc:

Description

I'm on a Windows XP SP 2 Intel Pentium 4 2 ghz.
I'm using FileZilla version 3.1.2 and attempting to upgrade to 3.1.5.
The same problem occurred while attempting to upgrade to 3.1.2.

When I attempted to upgrade to 3.1.2 and now 3.1.5 the client is freezing and the installation does not complete. At the point during the install when it asks where I want to save the installation file, I choose my desktop. When I do this, it places the beginnings of the file on the desktop but the installation fails. As I attempt to delete that incomplete installation file, windows tells me that the file is in use:


Error Deleting File or Folder


Cannot delete FileZilla_3.1.5_win32-setup: It is being used by another person or program.

Close any programs that might be using the file and try again.


OK


I've rebooted several times and still receive this message.

I was able to successfully install 3.1.2 if I used the 'My Documents' folder instead of the 'Desktop'. However, the incomplete installation files for 3.1.2 remains on my desktop.

Resolution: outdated
Status: newclosed

The upgrade problems have been fixed since.

As for the locked files even after a reboot, it means something else on the system is keeping it open, it's not a bug with FileZilla.
