Error message reads as follows:
C:\Users\abcde\AppData\Roaming\Sky\Sky Go\ffmpeg.dll
An error occurred while trying to replace the existing file:
DeleteFile failed: code 5
Access is denied
Click Retry to try again , Ignore to skip this file (not recommended) or Abort to cancel installation.
I cannot get past this point.
