I was trying to run an automated update to Spybot S&D v. 1.6.2 using the S & D updater application and received an error message that the file TCPIPAddress.dll (C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Plugins\TCPIPAddress.dll) could not be overwritten. I chose to abort the installation and the software was rolled all the way back to the root v. 1.6.0.30 installation (i.e. it looks like I lost all the incremental updates I’ve installed since September 2008).

Is there a solution to this problem, other than uninstalling v. 1.6.0 first, downloading the v. 1.6.2 executable from your website, and then trying a fresh installation? I checked the attributes of the TCPIPAddress.dll file and it was not marked as read only. I was connected to the Internet while the installation wizard was running.
