Hi, i haven an installer that drops a single file off in a directory. The file it overwrites will sometimes be locked by the OS itself, or someone on another cpu that has opened the file across the network etc.
can i tell advanced installer to force this file to be overwritten?
i do not care about the consequences on the other side for the person that has it open.
TY!

Re: can i overwrite a locked file
Hello and welcome to our forums,
If the file is in use by a process, I'm afraid that it is not possible to overwrite it.
The only solution would be to know the process that keeps the file in use and stop that process.
Best regards,
Catalin
