Hello,
Steps to get the message:
1. Get any executable file foo.exe (it must not exit just after it is run).
2. Copy foo.exe from original c:\bar\ folder to new c:\baz\ folder.
3. Run c:\bar\foo.exe.
4. Try to overwrite c:\bar\foo.exe with c:\baz\foo.exe (in real case it happened during program upgrade from zip archive).
5. You get message window Access denied on file c:\bar\foo.exe with skip, cancel and rename options.
Please add retry button. If I finish foo.exe the lock is gone and operation could be continued.
Add "Retry" button on "Access denied" wa

The copy behaviour in TC leaves something to be desired.
There are more than a few threads asking for either (or all)
1) Option to display copy failures at the end of the queue, instead of pausing the whole copy operation to wait for user input.
2) Option to preset Confirm messages before the copy operation.
3) Better handling of junctions/symlinks/etc.
4) "Better handling of renames, during MRT"
Now we can add,
5) Retry

Retry button would be very useful.
For example when I copy/overwrite some files and elevate that operation (eg. the destination is in Program Files) and one of the files is protected, the shown Access denied dialog allows me only to skip that file or cancel the whole operation.
