Trying to update, getting an error. [RESOLVED]

#1 Post by namastaii »

Hey, it's been a while :) Just trying to update Ren'py and I'm getting the error "WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied. u'C:\\renpy-6.99.9-sdk\\editra/lib/windows-i686/Lib/_ctypes.pyd.old'

Any idea what's wrong? Thanks

That path name just looks wrong, mixing all those slash formats together (but, y'know, Windows isn't well known for fantastic path handling).

If it's not that, the file could be in use by another program, moved, or blocked by permissions. Can you try to locate the file using the path given?
