Patch error - "could not write over executable"

Never got errors patching. Rebooted, deleted the temp, etc -- no dice. Bad patch?

edit: reinstalled fixed.

canno't download the patch as well here T.T, unable to connect to the server.
New patch, same error again. I'm not going to reinstall again -- there's gotta be something going on here -- something is not working as it should. I've been running PoE for 3 years never had a single issue with patches.

Patch downloads, then this error:



Exit out, double click POE, this error:



There's no PoE exe is running in processes, reboot same result.

What ya think?

It was not being ran as administrator. Never changed the shortcut or permissions, least I know what it is when future patches get silly with me.

Just had this issue as well. However, I managed to get it to work by deleting everything in the folder except the installer executable and the mega content file

Not sure if same issue, as I haven't experienced it in a while, but here's a post I did in the closed beta once upon a time-

For anyone else that has this issue, all you have to do is type that URL into your browser. A download will start. Save the file into your PoE:Awakening directory and re-launch the client. I have had this issue pretty much every time the beta client has updated and this has worked for me 9/10 times.
