HJPhilippi Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Hi there, I wanted to install the VI Package Manager 2.0 I've just downloaded and run into an installation error: The installer suspects a possible file access error but I don't think this actually is the case since I'm working with admin rights (as usual...) under Windows. Any idea what else could be the source of the problem? Some facts about my system: - working with LV 8.6 - LV 8.2.1 runtime installed just for VIPM - German Windows XP SP3 Thanks for any hint, regards Hans-Juergen Philippi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Kring Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Hello Hans-Juergen, I'm sorry to hear you're having installation trouble. Can you please confirm that three file paths identified in the error message are writable by your user account? The error seems to be due to the user account (under which the installer is being run) having insufficient access access rights. Can you also try right-clicking on the installer EXE and choosing "Run as..." to run the program as an administrator? Thanks, -Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HJPhilippi Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Hi Jim, thanks for your quick response! Can you please confirm that three file paths identified in the error message are writable by your user account? The error seems to be due to the user account (under which the installer is being run) having insufficient access access rights. Can you also try right-clicking on the installer EXE and choosing "Run as..." to run the program as an administrator? I've investigated and tried all this and more (created arbitrary text files in the mentioned folders, started VIPM setup with admin account explicitely, disabled virus tool etc.) yesterday, it didn't bring any further info or success. But... a new day, a new game, and now the installation finished without any problem. Pretty weird. Maybe there was some other software running in the background or it was LV 8.6 I've started (and terminated) before running the installer or something like this?! Anyway, thanks for the free VIPM Community Edition and once again for your assistance Hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Kring Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Hello Hans, I'm happy to hear that it's working for you, now. Yes, that sounds like quite a strange mystery. Maybe you rebooted the computer -- that often will fix a few things in Windows Thanks, -Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Guerit Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 I think I have heard of this happening before. I think somehow somebody has a lock on one (or more) of the file(s) being installed. Could you tell us roughly when in the installation process this happen (when did you saw the blue progress bar jump or hang before you got the error message? was that around 25%, 50%, 75% or close to the end?)? There might be some way for us to mitigate this if we could pinpoint when this happened. Thanks Philippe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HJPhilippi Posted September 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Hi Philippe, Could you tell us roughly when in the installation process this happen [...] I started the installation several times and it always happened pretty late, I think the blue progress bar was indeed completed as far as I can remember and then the error message appeared. And BTW: I did restart the computer right before the VIPM setup, since I'd just installed the LV 8.2.1 runtime that asked me to do so. Windows as usual...

thats_right2 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Yes, I did. I think I have most of the admin rights on my computer. I installed Labview at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
