Delete file failed code 5 error

[lexus4usPA]

Hi All,

 

I was running AVG 2.55 and decided to check for updates. Well, it notified me and began the process of DL'ing version 2.9.

 

During the install I got this error dialog box.

 

C:\programfiles\Iobit\advancedwindowscareV2Pro\memcleaner.exe.

 

Error occurred while trying to replace the existing file:

 

delete file failed; Code 5

access is denied.

 

 

I was given the opportunity to continue (not recommended) retry ( same issue) or abort. I aborted.

 

 

Any ideas?

 

 

Thanks

Hi lexus

You probably had memory cleaner running in your system tray, close it and try again.

Hi brogonni

If it really is the same problem, the solution should be the same!

A bit more information wouldn't hurt! (I hope :-) )

Do NOT have memory cleaner running in the background while downloading and installing.

No I don't have the memory running, the problem is when I try to update, half way I get this message that the DeleteFile Failed; Code 5 error.

Hi brogonni

have you tried a completely clean install?

Yes I did and I have the same problem, You see the problem is the system is not deleting the older one so I can intall the new one.

Could it be that it is write protected for some reason?

Hi brogonni

If you do a completely clean install there is no older one to delete, you would have uninstalled it thrown out its folder and cleaned up before installing the newest version - please read Usage of IObit Products in the lounge section.

If you have MacAfee and have had that false positive - then that solution is also described there.

I do have McAfee, I don't understand what you mean by "false positive"

Hi brogonni

Please read this thread - the solution to the false positive problem is also described there.

My response

 

Oh i had the same problem,these files become stacked and are due to long paths,use the tool available at LINK DELETED ,it is a tool which deletes and also searches such undeleteable files and also assists in installation and sharing of long pathed files
