This has been going on here for several releases, but I haven't seen anyone else report it, so I am pretty sure it is on my machine.
During installation of a new release, I don't get any error, but the installation hangs at the same point each time. The attached screen show shows what it is showing when it hangs.
"Extracting files... C:\Program Files\xLights\xScheduleWeb\inc\sidebarPlayerStatus.html"
To get around this, I first go into Task Manager and cancel the installation. I then go into Apps and Features and delete "xLights version 2018.xx" (what ever the previous version was.) After this, I simply load the new version and everything installs and works.
This is definately not a priority as I have a working method to get things back up and running. I just wanted to see if I'm the only one, or if others have run into this.

I’ve never seen or heard of it.

Perhaps install outside of program files directory to see if it is a permissions thing... (eg c:\xlights)

Interesting thought. I can't figure out what permissions would stop it from doing it, yet allow it to be installed if you delete the old files first. and then I have to look at the fact that it happens on pretty much ever installation (updates). And then on one machine... Oh my.
I'll keep looking.

I believe its a service installed with Vixen that blocks it. :)
