Hi all. Trying to save a hak file with the NWN2 packer and it says I can’t because the file is in use, while it isn’t. Any clue why it does that?
your OS thinks some other app is holding the file “handle” open … maybe the toolset itself has dibs on it.
There are “file unlocking” programs, but they should only be used after all apps that could have opened a handle on the file have been closed – and so you’re sure that one of those apps did not properly release the file’s handle.
Try closing the toolset, then saving the .hak
…
else save what you can and reboot, or →
(i’ve used Unlocker without issues in the past, iirc)

Toolset is closed, that’s why I ask 
. Rebooting should fix it. Perhaps it’s good for the PC to do it once in a while anyway

The program window is closed, but the program process itself may be still hanging in the background. Try looking in the Windows Task Manager for a process named nwn2toolset.exe (or so) and terminating it manually.
