An error occurred while trying to rename a file in the destination directory: MoveFile failed; code 5. Access is denied


Recommended Posts

Get this error when trying to install Anti-Malware version 2.0.3.1025 on Windows 7 home edition "An error occurred while trying to rename a file in the destination directory: MoveFile failed; code 5. Access is denied." I had the previous version already installed and have had no problems installing the previous versions, but when I was asked to upgrade to the latest version, then I got this error. See the attached file for a screen shot.  I did open up a support ticket, but not sure how long it will take to get an answer.  I did try deleting the original folder and let the installer re-create it and same error.  I did go look inside the folder and did not find a mbam.exe file.  Any help is much appreciated.
