vPilot setup error

Hi.

I'm getting the following error when trying to update vPilot to the recent 2.5 version.

 

Error opening the file for writing:

c:\Users\Rob\AppData\Local\vPilot\vPilot.exe

 

followed by the Abort, Retry and ignore buttons.

 

I have Nortons disabled, and the files are located where the updater is looking.

 

Any ideas anyone?

No idea, really, but are you running as an administrator?

Thank you Don, but yes I am. I should have mentioned that.

 

I've had one thought and that's that I wonder if it's not so much as an update, but more of a complete install and that I would have to uninstall the previous version first?

 

I guess there's only way to find out. Job for the weekend.

No, no need to uninstall when upgrading vPilot versions. I would suggest a reinstall.
