Hi.

As I understand, our scheduled task that runs updates returned this exit code. Converted to hex, the error code would be 0x8007 0065 - "The exclusive semaphore is owned by another process."

I'll continue looking into the problem, but with no success for now.

Please try v0.14.0 and let us known how it goes.

Found out that in that cases such updates can't been installed even manually.
