So I went on my computer to try and update 1.3 but it didn't update and this came up
Fatal error occurred (2): C:\Users\Andrew\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\bin\version (Access is denied)

Please help

Have you got administrator powers on your computer? Might be something to do with not have the powers to make changes to certain files. Is your computer controlled by anyone else i.e. Parents, Brother('s), Sister('s) or anyone else besides yourself?

I'm not sure if this will help but I think there is a force update you can do for minecraft go to your .minecraft folder.
I should probably leave this to the experts.

[tuckerboy2012]

Nope just me

Do you have any mods installed on your current bin? I got this error, and deleting the bin fixed it. Try doing that.

[tuckerboy2012]

I don't have any mods... But I will try deleting the bin

[tuckerboy2012]

Nope didn't work

[Conor3000]

I have an idea that could help, go to Minecraft.net then login and try playing the browser based Minecraft. It should download 1.3 automatically. Now remember this MAY work, I'm not promising that it will work!

[tuckerboy2012]

Also force update didn't work

When all else fails, delete .minecraft and download and run the launcher again.

But! Remember to backup the saves folder first.

Also, make sure that the launcher isn't running before backing up and deleting

If all else fails, just delete minecraft and install it again.

I'd say delete your entire .minecraft folder, that should do it if you have an issue of any kind. Then just run the launcher with force update on.

[AlexCouchM]

Make a backup of your .minecraft (rename it minecraft_BAK) and then open up minecraft and run it.

[Miridion]

try deleting your minecraft.jar folder (back up first) then do force update on the login screen

Hi,
If none of the solutions above worked you sould take a look à the C:\Users\Andrew\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\bin\version file's permissions : open the properties windows and check in the Security tab that the user Andrew has full control.
Good luck.

Hi!

Have you had this problem before?
It could be a problem with your minecraft?
Delete your current minecraft but do backups first.
And them try to re-install minecraft.

It's possible your version file is inaccessible as stated at the end of the error 'Access is Denied'. Try this, when you start up minecraft, don't just open it normally. Right click on it and press 'Run as administrator' or something similar to that.
