Permissions and TrustedInstaller

[Guest]

I installed Vista RTM to partition C and now I'm trying to remove earlier
Vista RC1 from D. I have deleted all folders except Program Files,
ProgramData and Windows. If I try to delete these, the errormessage after all
UAC confirmation windows is: "You need permission to perform this action". I
don't want to format partition D because of there is also data I don't want
to remove, so what should I do to delete these folders? I have tried to
change ownership to admin group, as well as give full rights to admin group
to these folders but no help.

The second question: I changed the owner of a folder from TrustedInstaller
to admin. Now I try to set TrustedInstalled again to the owner, but I can't
find it when using "Select users and groups": what's the right location? Or
how should I do that?

Hi,

Change ownership to your user account, not just the admin group, and make
sure you check the box to propagate to objects and subcontainers.

Didn't help... changed ownership to me, but still the same message when try
to delete: "You need permission to perform this action."

Hi,

Run a command prompt as administrator (right click CMD, choose "run as
administrator"), delete the folders from the prompt.

I have the same problem (writing files back to some directories) and I'm not
using pirated software
