Trouble upgrading DX
Thursday, August 19, 2004 by dabe | Discussion: Stardock Software
This is a first for me. Every time I try to update the lastest DesktopX via SDCentral, I get the following message:
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)
Result: Installation failed
Prior to this, I'd get messages that instructed me to restart my computer, but that's normal. This isn't. Do I have to unload DX now to upgrade it? TIA

Thanks, Hus. For some reason, I just assumed that you can upgrade directly from SDC without having to exit a program. I dunno why I thought that. Anyway, I unloaded DX, and voila! Works like a charm.

I have always upgraded without closing the programs concerned, but I have found out why this is happening, it's the DX widgets that's causing the program to stop about 3/4 of the way through the installation.
