Error installing SolrServer 12.1

[borourke]

Installing SolrServer on a test\dev separate server, and getting the following error:

java.nio.file.FileSystemException: C:\Users\aaworourke\AppData\Local\Temp\2\PTCSOLNINSTALLER_PtcInstall.log: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

According to Task Manager, nothing is running connected to Solr. We are using Amazon Corretto 11 for our java environmental variables. Just curious if anyone else has seen this. Many thanks in advance!

Was there a previous failed attempt at running the PSI installer that is remaining running?

[borourke]

No, and I bounced the server to be sure.

A little trick I use with SOLR specifically is to find the PID (Process ID by which one has locked up the port)

Netstat -a -o | find “8085”

Returns a line for that port, and use the PID returned in the next command

Taskkill /f /PID “pid from netstat”

Many thanks!

Did that fix the issue?

Hi @borourke 

I would advice to use process explorer https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer

This explorer can help you to find what process is running and kill them if it is necessary.
