Write permissions issue

[davehaigh]

I'm trying to install onto a mounted drive, from my Windows 7 machine, and Creo is telling me that I don't have write permissions to the folder.

I'm doing the same thing from my XP machine, to the same mounted drive, right now. Same user, same permissions. Windows 7 is trying to protect me from myself.

I'm running the Creo installer as administrator on the Windows 7 machine. (I am an administrator on the local machine and the remote machine. I have "full control" permissions on the shared folder.)

Any ideas????

Just a guess - but I'll bet you $0.05 that you are encountering Windoze DEP (Data Execution Protection) issues...

Run the Installer with the right click Run as Administrator

Also be aware that if you use c:\users as you user folder then this may cause issues under windows 7 as it now has a c:\users which is protected by the os
