I've been using CCleaner for about a year now, ever since it was recommended on this site. It's my favorite application.

I've notice a minor problem on all 3 of my computers (running XP SP3), when I get the message to update to a newer version.

As I am going through the Update process, and I get to the "Install" phase, every time, and on all 3 of my systems, when I hit "Next" to Install, it installs about 10% of the update (takes about 1 second), and I get an error and the install freezes.

The error message is this (with 3 buttons at bottom): Error opening file for writing: C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe Click ABORT to stop installation, RETRY to try again, or IGNORE to skip this file.

When I click RETRY, the program always continues installing successfully, with no other stalls. This happens every time, without exception.

It has been doing this for the past few months, but since I can always finish the install by clicking RETRY, I haven't yet dealt with it (until now).

Has anyone else encountered this?

Do you know what the problem is and how to correct it?

I hope I don't need to uninstall and reinstall, as I have all these cookies saved, and everything configured just so.

Thanks...

*Cough*
Double Post ;)

Anyway.

Have you tried uninstalling the older version before reinstalling the newer one ?

I simply uninstall ccleaner, run xp disk cleanup and install the latest ccleaner...

I shall try it...
