Error during user setup installation

[ExarKun64]

System details:

Processor: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700H 2.40 GHz RAM: 32,0 Go OS: Windows 10 Professionnal 64 bits processeur x64

Positron and OS details:

2024.08.0-31 (UserSetup)

Describe the issue:

When installing Positron on Windows using the Positron-2024.08.0-31-UserSetup.exe installer, I get an error message indicating that an error occured while attempting to rename a file in the destination folder.

If I select the "Ignore" option, the installation ends, and the program looks working.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Launch the UserSetup executable

Were there any error messages in the UI, Output panel, or Developer Tools console?

For completeness:

During installation, the following error occurred:

An error occurred while trying to rename a file in the destination directory: MoveFile failed; code 3. The system cannot find the path specified.

I can confirm this is still happening with Positron-2024.09.0-77-UserSetup.exe.

I can confirm this is happening in Positron-2024.09.0-103-UserSetup.exe for several files:

Ditto @nickdickinson I have encountered the same error(s) using release version 2024.11.0-140 on at least three different Windows 10 Enterprise environments. FWIW, when skipping and proceeding with the installation, it looks like profile management is broken.

Is there a plan to fix this?

[petetronic]

We believe we understand the issue and we are discussing options to fix.
