Try again. Usually works second time.

Ah yes, that one won't say in a prompt. You will have to open the log file and see what it is. Click the [View Log] button... I think it should identify what file it couldn't delete and what process was holding it open.

Click the [View Log] button on either form and it will bring up the log file in notepad.
