So i downloaded and installed it and it messed up my Second life so i un-installed it but when i try to re-install it finds an error at the end.

If it helps the error it comes up with is what you get with downloaded games if you run them before cracking.

ouch unlucky LL is having "issues" at the moment and has disabled all logins if you have an old release i.e the previous 1 try re-installing it and see what it does it should work but you won't be able to find out until the grid comes back online

Restart your computer. It sounds like the file is still being used by something. Or at least Windows thinks it is.

Perhaps installing to a different folder would help, or to a different drive. I'd also run a surface scan on that drive.

3MB free? Free up more space. It may be barfing because it can't write temporary files.
