Cannot install patch - "Could not overwrite executable with new patched executable..."

I see that this has been an issue in both POE 1 and 2. I found old threads with solutions such as: reboot, another has us renaming the pathofexile.tmp to .exe (I did this and windows won't execute the file).

I even moved the .exe and .tmp files out of the path of exile 2 folder and ran the installer, which "repaired" the installation by replacing the .exe file, and I still get the titular error. Please help.

Same Problem.

After the Patch came up tonight, the Game starts a little downliad and tells me that its is not able to "overwrite execute"

I uninstall 10 Times now, reinstall 10 times..

The installer only installs a installer an anytime i click the poe2 button it wants to download aboz 65 mb an then gives me the message.

I kicked everything incl. the regestry....nothing works....cant install the game anymore

Same problem on my end. I'm using Lutris/WINE on Linux. Uninstalling and/or removing the WINE config didn´t help.

I found it.......delete your POE2 folder under

driveC / User / Name / Documents /my games

after uninstall and delete everything......now my downlaod starts

Had the same problem.

Someone had the solution

I had this same problem.

Started working after I ran PackCheck.exe that is found in the install folder.

Lamdosch's solution works as well and is much better than changing the .config and .temp files since you don't have to redownload the whole game. should be just an issue in production config
