Hello Richard,
Boot into windows (safe mode) with an Administrative account (Had to boot
into safe mode to get the Security tab )
Checked the permissions of the "Documents and Settings" folder : (right
click and go to properties -> security tab)
- both SYSTEM and ADMINISTRATORS have full control : others are mentioned
but not important
Checked the permissions of the "All Users" folder : (right click and go to
properties -> security tab)
- both SYSTEM and ADMINISTRATORS have full control : others are mentioned
but not important
Checked the permissions of the "Documents" folder : (right click and go to
properties -> security tab)
only EVERYONE is listed (and the EVERYONE group did not have full
permissions : only had A) Read & Execute B) List Folder Contents C) Read
permissions :
ADD the SYSTEM group : done :
give SYSTEM full control : apply :
ADD the ADMINISTRATORS group : done :
give ADMINISTRATORS full control : apply :
closed all windows and rebooted the computer :
On reboot you shoud be able to install the program properly without error.
Thank You.
Diana

| I am trying to install Adobe Acrobat 6.0 on my laptop in C:\Program
| Files\Adobe. In the middle of the installation I get an error message
"Error
| 1303: The installer has insufficient privilege to access this directory:
| C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Adobe PDF 6.0. The
| installation cannot continue. Log on as an administrator . . ."
|
| I am the sole user, and my user profile recognizes me as the
administrator.
| I had no difficulty installing it on my desktop (after first trying on
the
| laptop, so it was not because it was a second installation of the
program).
| Both computers are Dell Pentium 4 with WinXP Home. Thanks for any
| suggestions.
|
| Richard
