Bug 427148 - Unable to update from one version to the next,
On Windows only - can not remove eclipse.exe
When Eclipse is installed on a different volume than the users home
directory, an update of the eclipse.exe fails. This is because the exe
is locked as a running process, and cannot be 'moved' to the backup
store because it exists on a different volume. To fix this we rename the
file in-place. This moves the exe 'out-of-the-way' so it can be updated.
This only works for files named eclipse.exe or Eclipse.exe
