“ERROR: Failed to copy <drive>:\SMSSETUP\tools\CMTrace.exe to <drive>:\program files\microsoft system center 2012 r2\configuration manager\tools\cmtrace.exe, Win32 error = 5″ when upgrading R2 to 1511
I am trying to upgrade from SCCM 2012 R2 to ConfigMgr 1511 but the upgrade is failing.
If I look in C:\ConfigMgrSetup.log I see the following error:
ERROR: Failed to copy <drive>:\SMSSETUP\tools\CMTrace.exe to <drive>:\program files\microsoft system center 2012 r2\configuration manager\tools\cmtrace.exe, Win32 error = 5
ANSWER
This is because the upgrade process is trying to copy a new version of CMTrace to the ConfigMgr installation directory which it can’t as you’ve got the CMTrace open.
