Hey folks, had an error recently when trying to install the XWAU2020update_v3.0.

If this has been reported, can someone point me in the direction of the thread? If not, found a new bug :)

Any help would be appreciated :D

Make sure Adobe reader is closed and the GoG program.
For some reason it's blocking a pdf file

There's no PDF in that folder, so don't know what it's trying to do...

Try running the updater as admin, it looks like your user doesn't have regular write permissions in the directory.

That's the one part of Windows I always have trouble with. I'm set as an admin in all the places I can think of...

If you right-click on the installer it should show you an option that says: 'run as administrator' that should make sure you have maximum privileges. A bit strange though that it only happens now and not with the older patches, so I am not sure if this is truly the issue.

It's trying to add a pdf to that folder and not liking it.
Shouldn't be an issue but it's like what Forceflow is saying
