[Solved] Unable to install r3199.

[kyriakos876]

I tried restarting the PC. Manually closing Rainmeter as suggested by the error. I still get "trying to close rainmeter" even thought it's not running as seen from the Task Manager. I always get these to errors in the opposite order. I click Retry on the "failed closing Rainmeter" and get the second that after clicking retry throws the same error.

At en elevated command prompt, what happens if you do this...
taskkill /im rainmeter.exe
...then try uninstalling?

Tried it... uninstalled and installed stable version, then tried again to install r3199 and same error poped-up

I don't know what I did, but eventually it installed.

Maybe a virus scan or something locked tile file temporarily?

I doubt it.. My antivirus is doing very specific things on my PC. By the way, this is the tile when I pin Rainmeter to the start menu. (full screen start menu)

Nothing about the install process is changed from 4.2 to 4.3.

I think you have an issue with your system. Anecdotally, I got Start menu behavior like that back in the early days of Windows 10, when I had a "god mode" icon in my start menu folders.

Deleting that icon and restarting solved the problem for me. Having that icon just created havoc in the Start menu.

No god mode icon whatsoever in my system since I installed windows on this SSD. Now about the issue with my system, I can never say "No my system is working perfectly" as that would be impossible for every system out there, but I have not noticed any weird behavior.

-Note that yesterday I installed this windows update. Maybe that has to do something? Maybe not? No idea...
