File permissions

[Guest Neil]

Hi

I have a pc running Win 2k Pro and am trying to isstall Sage accounts with

no success, I have spolen to sage & been told it is a windows file

permissions error.

 

I am logged onto the PC as a local Administrator

I try to install Sage but get installation error

Sage installs user files in 'Docs & setting\alluser\app data'

If i try & access this folder i get 'Access denied' message

Chcking follder security properties - access is granted to System & Local

users but not Admins.

Uninstaled Sage, changed user folder security setting to allow Admins full

access & deleted folder contents

Reinstalled Sage with same problems

Checking User folder setting - Admins had been removed from seurity settings.

 

Sage say this is not down to their program, any suggestions?

THanks

Re: File permissions

 

I strongly suspect that the problem is caused by your lack of attention to

detail, as seen in your own post (which is your calling card to the world).

Here are some examples:

"trying to isstall"

"I have spolen to sage"

"Docs & setting\alluser" (=Documents and Settings\All Users) (note the

missing "s" letters)

"Uninstaled Sage"

Spelling checkers are a wonderful invention, and proof-reading is a must

when you try to project the image of someone who pays attention to detail.

 

I recommend you do this:

1. Set the correct permissions.

2. Check them.

3. Reboot.

4. Check the permissions again.

5. Install Sage

Don't forget Steps 2 and 4!

 

You will probably find that everything now works as it should.
