Description Raymond Coory 2009-10-27 11:44:35 CDT 
Whenever I try to update Fiji I get an error message. It wants to update fiji-win32.exe, but fails giving the message "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process". All the other plugins will update ok, but it continues to want to update the exe and fails.

thanks, Raymond

I discovered a bug report of the same problem, and followed the suggestion of deleting the fiji-win32.exe.old file, and the update was carried out successfully, so now I know there is a workaround.  -Raymond

I uploaded a new version of Fiji_Updater.jar which should fix this issue by removing the .old file automatically (please update via Help>Update Fiji).
