I am getting an error when updating Windows 3.2.36 to 3.2.50. "Could not move system directory to backup"

Restart your machine.

 

Or, if you don't want to do that, be sure the server is not running and there are no stranded ffmpeg processes.

I restarted it still same error. What is happening with these updates?

[ucjb 14]

I finally got it installed by running it as admin.

In that case it is related to security settings of the folder so we can conclude that nothing wrong is happening with these updates.

[ucjb 14]

Probably true. But the other versions installed without issue?

I had the same thing happen.  It hasn't happened in quite awhile but it was just the "exe" process not shutting down in a timely manner.  Ensuring the process had died off, updated without any issue.

Stop the service (or tray app), rename the %AppData%\Roaming\Emby-Server\system folder to system.old and run the installer. Then it will install even if there is still an orphaned ffmpeg running (at least with this install)
