MtK Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 What file, where do you want to create it, etc..Seems like a permission issue to me..folder: C:\Program Files\<app folder>files: a lot of them...I've tried skipping those files & i can see they are mostly: exe, bat, dll, msi...

MtK Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 so it was a permission problem.I ran the installation file as Administrator & it worked...BUT I'm the Administrator...!should i set any extra permissions for myself??(sorry for the uppercase & signs... it's a frustration gesture) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1K Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Well in Windows Vista, you're not an administrator in true sense of the word, like you were in WindowsXP. Due to Vista security your accout actually behaves like a users account...You can find some useful info here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paxamime Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Next time you have this happen or have another error during installation you can hit "Shift + F10" which will bring up a command prompt and you can then browse to the logs and find where the problem is happening.
