(163/213) 3532737 - QuickNotepad 5 - can't remove old version

Trying to update QuickNotepad 4.4 to version 5.0. Did it using the plugin central update service.
Message : can't remove c://Program Files/jedit/jars/quicknotepad.jar.
The file is in fact here : c://Programmes/jedit/jars/quicknotepad.jar. (not in "Program Files" but in "Programmes")
I'm runing Windows 7 64 bits.
I solved the problem by deleting manually the old jar and then insttalling the new one.

I believe this is a windows 7 permissions issue. If you had your jEdit installed somewhere else, such as c:\ppApps\jEdit, then you will probably not have this problem.
by default java is forbidden from modifying any files in that directory, even if you are administrator.
There is nothing we can do from jEdit except perhaps, default install to a place that is not in %PROGRAMFILES%

oops. I was mistaken I can reproduce this problem in Windows even if jEdit is installed in c:\ppApps\jEdit.
It might not be what I said it was.
But this is a Windows-only issue. I can not reproduce this on Linux.

If you can reproduce it, then I believe there is a problem with the path jEdit try to remove the jar as I said it in my first comment, don't you think?

Actually, what i am seeing might be different from what you are seeing... But regardless, this is a bug in core, but in a plugin, so I am moving it to the bugs tracker.
