You are doing the update as Administrator, I hope. Otherwise it will
fail.

You don't have write permission for the .fndb file. That's not normal,
because the MiKTeX setup wizard makes the shared data directory writable
for Everyone.

Hello,
maybe there's an old LaTeX-Process you have to kill manually?

Sorry! I did not understand you idea. What process do you have in mind?

Well, sometimes a LaTeX run on a document fails because of an error. The
process (task) should then be killed by Windows itself. Just have a look
at the Windows Task-Manager by pressing Alt-Strg-Del and check that. I
got the same error message you describe because of an unkilled task.

I think you were right because everything was alright when I tried to
update next day.
