FileOps $movefile error

[Andy Hilton]

That’s the curious thing, although it is a library file that I am trying to move, it is a library that has not yet been opened by the application, so I fail to see how the file could be ‘open’ - it has just been copied down from an ftp site into a ‘downloads’ folder from where I am moving it into the appropriate position within the application setup (and as I mentioned I can manually copy it without issue)
