We got some problems when Lotus Notes 8.5.1 FP2 failed to update a 8.5.1FP1 installationWe see the following errors in the log:

Failed to remove file C:\PROGRAM FILES\IBM\LOTUS\NOTES\nnotesws.dll before restoring, error: 5

Failed to rename temp file C:\PROGRAM FILES\IBM\LOTUS\NOTES\RCHBackup\nnotesws018.IIB to C:\PROGRAM FILES\IBM\LOTUS\NOTES\nnotesws.dll.

Error: 183

What does error 5 and Error 183 mean?

Error code 5 indicates ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED and Error Code 183 indicates ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS which means cannot create a file when that file already exists.
