Are you able to manually move the file yourself without error?
a
it deleted the file when it fails
it is as if my C:\users\[my name]\.pulumi folder is locked , i can't even delete it
is there a way to set pulumi to use a differnt location for .pulumi folder?
looks like it is something related to the encryption software on my machine.... i restarted the machine and ran that software and now it is working

Interesting - are there any details you an share on the software you were using?

Yes - if needed you can set 
PULUMI_HOME
per https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/cli/environment-variables/.

hey @white-balloon-205 it is again not working
i have tried everything
it always gives me this error
@white-balloon-205 here is what i see... i run "pulumi up" for an aws-csharp project. I get an error "error: no resource plugin 'aws-v2.13.0' found in the workspace or on your $PATH, install the plugin using `pulumi plugin install resource aws v2.13.0`"... so i ran "pulumi plugin install resource aws v2.13.0" which returns "Moving plugin...error: installing [resource plugin aws-2.13.0] from : moving plugin: rename C:\Users\parag.andleigh.pulumi\plugins\resource-aws-v2.13.0.tmp163307875 C\Users\parag.andleigh.pulumi\plugins\resource aws v2.13.0 Access is denied" and i am running it as an "Administrator" in a powershell window
is there a way to download that plugin separately and copy it manually?
ok on further trying
This works --> pulumi plugin install resource aws v2.7.0
but installing any versions newer that this fails
ok now v2.9.0 also worked... trying v2.10.0 and it fails
@white-balloon-205 here is what i am doing
so some versions work, some don't

That is strange. It seems like you must have some software interfering with the ability to write files into the 
C:\Users\parag.andleigh\.pulumi\plugins\
folder? There wouldn't be anything fundamentally different about different plugin versions - so I am unclear how your machine would be accepting some but not others. You could set 
PULUMI_HOME
to try maintaining these somewhere else (that perhaps isn't blocked by software on your machine). Or you could download directly from (e.g.) https://get.pulumi.com/releases/plugins/pulumi-resource-azure-v3.12.1-windows-amd64.tar.gz and place manually into 
.pulumi\plugins\
.

thx

@white-balloon-205 I'm having this problem trying to install the azure 3.19.0 plugin. I've changed the home directory to point to a directory I know is excluded from McAfee and have the same problem. I'm on Windows 10 2004, latest pulumi.
@white-balloon-205 I'd be happy to debug or capture any logging that might help.

@bored-activity-40468 Any logging or debug output that you could please include in https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/2695 would be super helpful!
b
@faint-table-42725 Really strange, closing file explorers and IDE's fixed it. I commented in that issue.

Thanks for the additional information!
