Could not overwrite executable with new patched executable


When I download today's update I get this message.
I have restarted my PC several times and still no change.
Does any of you have a similar problem?

EDIT
I just did this and the game works
"
Go to your installation folder. Locate two files, PathOfExile.exe and PathOfExile.tmp.

Rename, move, or delete PathOfExile.exe.

Rename PathOfExile.tmp to PathOfExile.exe.

Relaunch Path Of Exile."
Thank you for this fix.

Same thing happened to me just now.

There were two PathofExile files. One PathofExile and one PathofExile.tmp.

I deleted the PathofExile and made the temp file into PathofExile. Worked fine.

Hope this is not repetitive problem.

(I log in through game. Not use steam etc.)
Thank you for the help I just did the renaming thing lol tbh it was my 1st time doing something like that but I'm glad I had you to walk me through it thanks a million
