Could not overwrite executable (standalone launcher)

Hello everyone,

I'm getting the error attached while trying to launch the game with standalone.

Anyone have encountered this, or able to help?

Thanks

found a fix:

Go to PoE2 folder, rename the PathOfExile.exe to anything, and rename PathOfExile.tmp to PathOfExile.exe.

So try to restart your computer, and try "repair" the game by going to your installed program then Uninstall/repair.

Hope it will work for you otherwise good luck to have an answer anytime soon from the support... (4days+ and still waiting for an answer just for a stupid missing unlink Steam button).
Also, 90% of emails to the support bounce back because their email system bug/is full...
Pardon my english, I'm French :p

SSF for the win!
