| | Making Temp Folder Writable HI. I'm trying to install adobe reader 8 from my dvd, and whenever it tries to write, it says:"Temp folder need permission to be written to". I've tried changing the read-only to unchecked, but as soon as I exit the screen, it changes back. The installler doesn't let me select a folder to install to, so I need to know how to change the temp folder to writable temporarily. -ty |

Or perhaps you just have the Reader executable saved on DVD for some reason? If you are really trying to install Acrobat Standard, instead of allowing the install DVD to autorun try opening the drive folder and right-click on the installable executable. It is probably called something like "setup.exe". Then choose "run as Administrator". This is a guess on my part. If you really are trying to install Acrobat Standard, you might want to look on Adobe's website or call their tech support if my suggestion doesn't work. After all, this is a $300 (at least) program so you should get some support with it! If you are trying to install Reader from a DVD, right-click/drag/copy the installer executable to the Desktop. I haven't had to do the right-click/run as Administrator with Reader but it won't hurt. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic! |
