Hi, installed sui cli a few weeks ago and it worked, but now due to some issues, reinstalling it consistently gives me a
> Unable to save config to C:\Users\Gentle-Ninja.sui\sui\_config\client.yaml
>
> Caused by:
> The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file. (os error 33)
This happens right after selecting key scheme to generate key pair on sui v1.60.0
I tried uninstalling sui
uninstalling chocolatey
manually deleting the .sui folder and chocolatey folder.
But after every re-install, the issue persists.

I was able to resolve this issue by installing the sui client version 1.57.0
