Receiving error when updating Quicken - "...quickenPatch\w4056\base\cef.pak.tmp" is denied.

Question

Access to the path 'C:\ProgramData\Quicken\Inet\Common\patch\quickenPatch\w4056\base\cef.pak.tmp' is denied. 
 I searched the drive and the folder W4056 does not exist. I have uninstalled, reinstalled run the QuickenUI tool to clear registry entries. Talked to tech support who had me uninstall run the QuickenUI tool and run mondo patch and still failed with no solution. I have run the mondo patch as an administrator and in compatibility mode but, same failure. I turned off all anti-virus and even tried in Windows safe mode but no bypassing message. This is on Windows 11 latest build and fully patched. Any ideas why this is not working.

I do apologize that this issue has continued. Thank you for taking the chance to check back in and provide the results of these troubleshooting efforts with us.

At this stage, it would be extremely helpful to submit the logs from your Quicken application. You can do this anytime by going to Help > Report a problem... in the upper menu at the top of the screen. Note that these logs will be a part of an investigative effort and will not yield a direct response.

Feel free to reach out with any additional questions or concerns.

Thank you,

I have completely uninstalled Norton Antivirus from my machine and rebooted. Followed the recommendation from the article and disabled ransomware protection. I have uninstalled and run the QUIclean utility Reinstalled Quicken and receive the exact same error I reported. I checked the perms on the folder and there should not be an issue. Short of rebuilding my entire computer OS and do not know why quicken will not upgrade and continually gives the same error. Is there something in memory protection that might be blocking There is no antivirus now on the computer.

Files in path 'C:\ProgramData\Quicken\Inet\Common\patch\quickenPatch\...' only exist while the Quicken software update process is running and are usually deleted before this process ends.
Do you use Trend
Micro antivirus?IMHO, the most likely culprit is your Antivirus software attempting to scan the temporary installation files and interfering with the installation process. Disabling the antivirus software for the duration of the install before starting the installation process usually fixes the problem.
Also please check if Windows
Defender Controlled Folder Access feature Ransomware protection is
enabled.

If so, configure it to add Quicken as an "allowed app" without
turning off Ransomware protection. Perform the last step in https://community.quicken.com/discussion/7857675/faq-windows-defender-controlled-folder-access
