Survival Kit Update - Error message - cannot lock partition

Thread needs solution

When I select "Update Survival Kit" I always get the error message "Cannot lock partition because it is in use by another process."

How do I fix this?

Paul, I don't use the actual Survival Kit creation / update process as I have an older Legacy/MBR system and this would create the Survival Kit using the Linux rescue media, not the WinPE version.

What I have been able to do is create my own equivalent Survival Kit by simply creating a 2GB FAT32 partition on my external USB HDD and allocating a Windows drive letter (N:) to that partition.  After that, I can use either the normal Acronis Rescue Media Builder tool, or else use the MVP Custom ATIPE Builder script to create / update the bootable rescue partition.  I use the latter to get the extra features in the media (file manager, web browser, image snapshot etc).  I did exactly this today to update my 'kit' to the latest 14610 build version.
