Upgrade Problems

wideload · 15th June 2006, 22:40

I tried to upgrade from version 5.21 to 5.23. When I did, right after I click INSTALL I get an error message that says "Error opening file for writing C:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.exe".

I tried uninstalling 5.21 and reinstalling 5.23. Same results.

I'm running Win XP Pro on an AMD 64 3800+ Dual Core with 2 gb memory.

Make sure Winamp is closed before installing any updates.

Well I didn't think it was running but some vestiage of it must have been. I rebooted and tried installing it again and it worked this time.

Thanks for your help
