[ERROR] INTERNAL ERROR: OSError: [WinError -2147023672] Writing shortcut: The requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section open.

I haven't been able to reproduce this. Will keep trying.

Thanks. Sounds like one that just needs a retry (internally, rather than raising the error).

FWIW, a log file should always be generated in %TEMP% for any install operation, so if it does cause an error then you can grab that. In this case, I'm pretty confident where the error is coming from, but it'll usually have the full traceback.
