`poetry self update --preview` leads to `[WinError 5] Access is denied: 'py3.7\\msgpack\\_cmsgpack.cp37-win_amd64.pyd'`

• I am on the latest Poetry version.
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
• If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option).

• OS version and name: Windows 10 pro, version 1909
• Poetry version: 1.0.9
• Link of a Gist with the contents of your pyproject.toml file: no project specific probelm

Issue

I use powershell and pyenv on windows with python 3.7. Python 3.7.5 is the newest version according to pyenv install -l Updating to the latest preview does not work as expected, I assumed poetry self update --preview would work. But see the log below, I can reproduce it every time with the same error. Installing/using poetry 1.0.9 works without issues. I guess it is similar to #1032 as shutil.py is involved in both problems, but the error is different.

Steps to reproduce

1. install poetry with (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py -UseBasicParsing).Content | python
2. try to update with poetry self update --preview

Afterwards the poetry installation is corrupted and does not work anymore

Workaround powershell command

1. delete the .poetry folder manually (located in user home directory)
2. (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py -UseBasicParsing).Content | python - --preview

Retrieving Poetry metadata

# Welcome to Poetry!

This will download and install the latest version of Poetry,
a dependency and package manager for Python.

It will add the `poetry` command to Poetry's bin directory, located at:

%USERPROFILE%\.poetry\bin

This path will then be added to your `PATH` environment variable by
modifying the `HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Environment/PATH` registry key.

You can uninstall at any time by executing this script with the --uninstall option,
and these changes will be reverted.

Installing version: 1.0.9
  - Downloading poetry-1.0.9-win32.tar.gz (10.72MB)

Poetry (1.0.9) is installed now. Great!

To get started you need Poetry's bin directory (%USERPROFILE%\.poetry\bin) in your `PATH`
environment variable. Future applications will automatically have the
correct environment, but you may need to restart your current shell.

PS C:\Users\jahna> poetry self update --preview -vvv

Still having the same issue in 2021, had to uninstall and use the new install script to get the preview working:

(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/install-poetry.py -UseBasicParsing).Content | python - --preview

Not finding any definitive solution online and I followed the exact install steps, not sure how to fix it without a full re-install.
