The change to error handling did not include ERROR_CANT_ACCESS_FILE, but this error occurs in the Store package install.

After suppressing this error, it then occurs again when stripping the prefix - we should just check for the same error here to determine whether it's safe to remove the prefix of a file we can't access.

This is resolved as far as I'm concerned - leaving open for Łukasz to cherrypick and close.
