Unable to install to 'Drivers' folder

Okay so, like the title suggests, for some reason- maybe because of some limitation, I cannot install Virtual Clone Drive (by ArcSoft) into Win10 9926. (Since it can mount my backup bluray isos)

 

Actually It didn't work on the last build either.

 

When installing, It informs me it cannot write to c:\windows\system32\drivers for the ElbyCDIO.sys.

 

I've tried the take ownership method on any level of the folders.. no luck. I can't seem to set permissions either for the user or admin for writing.

 

Apparently AnyDVD (also by arcsoft) also doesn't install says some complaint on the forum. No solution was offered.

 

What am I doing wrong? Or have M$ made it difficult somehow.....

 

Cheers

One of my pet peeves with UAC is that it "makes it difficult somehow" in about eleventy seven different ways.

 

You may be able to install the system software you want if you temporarily disable UAC (I mean really disable it, setting the EnableLUA value in the registry to 0 and rebooting), then when you've got the software installed, re-enable it by changing EnableLUA back to 1.  It can be found here:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
