Hello Ivan,
either the file is in use, meaning it hast been opened by another application, or you simply
do not have the permission to write to the C:\Program Files (86x)\Notepad++ directory as
the user you are currently logged on. The second one can be solved by using
right-click “run as administrator” when executing installation script and the first one
by either using tools like handles to find out which application has locked the file or by rebooting
the pc.Cheers

Thank You so much for the help I have installed 6.8.8.
Cheers
Ivan
