Hello Makoda,

The error that you are getting can occur in the event that you do not have the correct access permissions to the following drive: drive:WinntInstaller folder. In the folder location that has been indicated, the drive is the hard disk that has got Windows is installed on it.

This usually occurs when the antivirus you have on your computer blocks access to the change permissions that have been set for the drive:WinntInstaller folder.

To resolve this issue, you will need to contact your antivirus software manufacturer in order to get the updated version of the antivirus software program or get assistance with the reconfiguration of the antivirus software program.

Regards,

Carl
