MCL-5316Minecraft launcher update failure reads "problem moving tmplauncher.tmp to minecraftlauncher.exe
Last evening the Minecraft launcher updated and seemed fine. This morning it tried to update again and this time gave an error of "Problem moving C:/Program Files (x86)/Minecraft/tmp/tmplauncher.tmp to MinecraftLauncher.exe with error code 5." I have attempted several times w/ the same error and even went as far as reinstalling the game from the Minecraft website only to get the same message. Any advice on how to disable the update, rollback to previous update, or correct the problem would be helpful.
Environment
Windows 7 w/ most recent Java update (sorry don't know the java version).

I am having the same issue but to fix it for an 1 hour and so simple open your .minecraft folder and scroll down till you see usercache delete the file it should work again
Just attempted to start the launcher again and the issue seems to have fixed itself. Game has launched 1.11.2 w/o issue this time. Sorry if I have wasted your time.
Thanks, Scott for the advise. If it happens again I will try that.
Well minecraft worked for most the day. Unfortunately I shut it down and now it won't launch again. Tried the cache file bit but that did not work.
same here
just noticed this thread is listed as resolved. It is far from resolved. The issue is still happening and I still cannot log on to minecraft.
