[SOLVED] problem using FPCUPDELUXE
440bx:
Hello,
I was attempting to install the trunk versions of FPC and Lazarus using the latest version of FPCUPDELUXE (v2.4.0c) and got "Permission denied" and "Error 2" (please see attached screenshot for more details.)
FPCUPDELUXE was running as administrator and the install directory specified did not exist, IOW, it's a brand new directory created by FPCUPDELUXE.
Solutions and/or suggestions greatly appreciated,
Thank you.
ETA:
Windows 7 SP1

I am unable to reproduce. It might be that a virus-scanner is busy scanning the ppcx64 executable while the FPC make tries to move it.
Sidenote. Do NOT run fpcupdeluxe as administrator. It is meant to install a single, non-root user FPC and Lazarus.

Hello DonAlfredo,
Thank you for the reply. There is no virus scanner of any kind in that installation.
Initially I wasn't running fpcupdeluxe as administrator but, since I was getting the _exact_ same problem, I figured I'd try running it as administrator to ensure it had access to everything.
Any other ideas ?
Thank you.
DonAlfredo:
I do not have a clue.
However. Few things you can do or try.
1.
Try to install FPC stable first. In the same manner, but in a different directory. As a normal user.
It might be that trunk itself causes this problem.
2.
Just to be sure, exclude the install directory from any (even Windows) virus scanner.
I myself put all FPC and Lazarus combo's in a special directory (c:\myfpcinstalls) on my main disk that is excluded from scanners.

I tried installing, FPC only, "stable", "fixes", "3.3.1" and a few others. The result was always the same: the _exact_ same error I showed in the attachment to the first post.

There is _no_ virus scanner active in the machine. No antivirus is installed and the Windows defender service is disabled. To be absolutely certain no "antivirus stuff" could possibly be getting in the way, I used Process Hacker (in addition to the windows services applet) to visually inspect every running service one by one to ensure it is _not_ an "antivirus" associated service.
