| | Problem installing new program Please Help! I am trying to install a new program that extracts files from a self extracting zip file. The program installation works untill it attemps to extract the files to the folder "c\Documents and Settings\All Users". At this point the error "Could not create 'c\Documents and Settings\All Users' - unzip operation cancelled" appears. I tryed to create the folder manually but Vista will not allow me to....not sure what to do at this point. Can anyone Help!!!!! Please!!! |

That is just a junction (for backwards compatibility) pointing to "C:\Users\Public. When you double-click the self-extracting executable, change the location where it is going to unpack the files to C:\Users\Public. To forestall any other problems, it would be wise to check with the program's tech support (or on its website) to make sure it really is compatible with Vista.
