Hello,

trying to update Kepler (4.3.0 I20130314-1330) to M7 but i always get an error dialog saying:

An error occurred while uninstalling
session context was:(profile=SDKProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Uninstall, operand=[R]org.eclipse.sdk.ide.executable.win32.win32.x86_64 4.3.0.I20130314-1330 --> null, action=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.natives.actions.CleanupzipAction).
Backup of file D:\installed\Eclipse\E_4.3_x64\eclipse.exe failed.
Can not remove : D:\installed\Eclipse\E_4.3_x64\eclipse.exe


My eclipse.ini:
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20130225-1645.jar
-vm
D:/installed/Java/JDK_1.7_64bit/bin/javaw.exe
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.200.v20130228-0336
-showsplash

--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions
-Xms128m
-Xmx1024m


Running Win7 64Bit with 64Bit JDK7u21 as administrator and i'm using updatesite "http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.3milestones".
My anti-virus has an exception for my hole eclipse folder.
I checked all handles (processes) using 'eclipse.exe' and there 'eclipse.exe' itself, 'java.exe' and 'csrss.exe' (Client/Server Runtime Subsystem from Windows, its used for the console and threading under Windows).

I found a bugreport https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=333355 with the same issue but no solution for my case.

Has anybody an idea ho to solve this except of make a clean eclipse installation?

Thanks!

You may have more luck asking in the P2 forums because you can see P2 complaining it can not remove a file. Initially looks like a permission issue but as you state it is not the case.

I had same issue with updating Kepler. W7 with admin.

How to solve:


  1. Run eclipse
  2. Rename eclipse exe to eclipse.exe.back
  3. Run updates
  4. Updates executed successfully

Thanks Premysl! Worked nicely, updating from 4.4M3 -> 4.4M5.

(First time I've seen that...)

Fixed my problem updating 2021-06 to 2021-09. As far as I can see, the permissions should be ok. Does eclipse use a different user account in the background?
Could the error message be reworked to give more details about the cause of not being able to move the old file?

after renaming the eclipse.exe to eclipse.exe.back and running the updates, do we have to remove the eclipse.exe.back file after completing updates, as a new eclipse.exe file was created after the update.
so now there is a eclipse.exe file in my folder, and an eclipse.exe.back file as well.
