PPU fails to install a patch with a failure because the 'File exists'


Product

Platform

 

Operating system

 


Error

 


Symptoms

 

When you attempt to install a patch, you get the following error message:

Installing file <FILENAME> to <FILE LOCATION>

Exception in process 810, thread 464

Traceback (innermost last):

File "ppuinstall.py", line 303, in InstallPatch

patch.install( self )

File "D:\Prinergy1.1\CreoAraxi\support\patches\installed\Prinergy-1.1p102-x86\Prinergy-1.1p102-x86.ppuscript", line 71, in install

ppu.InstallFile( srcpath=r"<FILENAME>", targetdir=r"%ARAXIHOME%<FILE LOCATION>" )

File "ppuinstall.py", line 527, in InstallFile

os.rename( targetpath, temppath )

error: (17, 'File exists')

Restoring file <FILE LOCATION><FILENAME>


Cause

  This was likely preceeded by a failed installation of a patch that was caused because a process (EXE or DLL) that the patch was trying to replace was still running. The most common occurence of this is because PJOBD.exe was still running (or with the patch 82 version of the PPU, PPSOutputE.exe was still running). The problem is that after the PJOBD.exe (or PPSOutputE.exe) has been stopped/killed, the system is in a state where subsequent patch installations fail.

Solution

 

Either rename or move the problematic file (depicted by <FILENAME> in the example above) to another location and try the patch installation again.

Permanent fix:
