Many threads but still a problem... Fresh install too...
The process cannot access the file 'C:\ProgramData\Quicken\Inet\Common\patch\quickenPatch\w149\base\ScreenShare\Quicken.Screenshare.exe' because it is being used by another process.
Now I am bothered by something named ScreenShare.exe. What? Screenshare! This issue is problematic to me. Am I being monitored? I have had no tech support asking for screen access.
C:\ProgramData is a hidden folder

Screenshare is just for that, WHEN you are on the phone with OFFICIAL Quicken support and YOU WANT to share your screen with support so that they can see your problem.You have to turn it on and only with Quicken support and they can only see, not control your computer.

The message implies, when Quicken attempted to copy the file from the patch folder to the program folder, another process had the file open. The most likely candidate is you anti virus or anti malware program.

I performed a clean uninstall, and a clean reinstall with a Quicken tech. That was quite some time ago. Apparently, this did not fix the problem. This is new. My previous issue was a different file. Interesting, I will try to figure out who is using this .exe. Indeed my assumption that it is actually running is flawed. Although a .exe, it could be locked by this unknown process... Looking...0

Crazy, that initial path is not there, C:\ProgramData\Quicken\Inet\Common\patch\quickenPatch\w149\base\ScreenShare.exe

I have TrendMicro. Looking at the logs, nothing triggered on Quicken. I will revert to the Mondo updates (again) Since the .exe is not there anymore, and no logs, I will continue with manual updates. Thanks to all for your help!0

The path is a temporary location used during the update.
When you do update Quicken, remember to first temporarily disable TrendMicro.Marshall said:I have TrendMicro. Looking at the logs, nothing triggered on Quicken.
