Description
The upgrade process on Windows involves copying the the Upgrade app to a temporary directory and running it as a separate process in a new command window. When upgrade is finished, the upgrade process waits for the user input before exiting.
If another upgrade command is run, it will fail to copy files to the temporary location and produce an unfriendly error.
This happens frequently enough that we should handle this scenario better. One option is to check for previously running upgrade processes and / or better handling of failing to copy files to the temporary directory.
