Error could not overwrite executable

HI, friend of mine getting this error msg, when he tries run path of exile 2

"Could not overwrite executable with new patched executable. Please make sure the PathOfExile.exe or PathOfExile.tmp are not still running. If necessary, you may need to reboot your computer.

Reboot of course didn't help. How we can solve it, plz?

im having the same issue, but it's has only happened on this patch released tonight.
I have a post up too about the exact same issue. Game rad fine earlier today and now it won't update. Almost like it tries to install the game and sees itself and thinks there is another .exe running.
Any solution to this issue? I have the same problem.
I found a solution just rename the launcher file like (PathOfExile - PathOfExile2) then rename the file ( PathOfExile.tmp - PathOfExile.exe ) and run it. Hope it helps
Mylor's suggestion worked for me as well. I just had to restart the app again after the update.
