I downloaded the .exe update version and ran it but CAN NOT delete the lcad0303.exe file afterwards. I have restarted my machine and even fully shut it down and still CAN NOT delete the file. Whenever I try (using windows XP) windows tells me:

Error Deleting File or Folder Cannot delete lcad0303: It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again.

hum.. No one and no program is using the file! Any clue what is going on?

Strange, I encountered no problems installing lcad0303.exe. (Windows 98SE)

I downloaded both the exe and the zip. Both doing fine. I use the exe to update my parts library and the zip into a different location just to see which files are in this update.

Same problem with the .exe file here. Will not delete and nothing is using it but it acts like it’s open, even after reboot. The only way I could get rid of it was to delete the directory it was in in entirety after moving everything else out, then back to it later. I’m still stuck with one copy in My Documents though since that’s a much harder replicable folder. And if you copy the file, now you’re stuck with 2 undeletable copies. Also changing perms, using admin acct, etc do not work on deleting file. I thought the .exe’s were just self-extracting compressions but maybe there’s a problem with an installer program?

Win XP SP1 (latest updates) btw so perhaps it’s an OS specific problem.
