I had a program that got corrupted during installation so several attempts
have been made to uninstall it (3 x's). Every time the following error is
displayed: "Error 1926. Could not set file security for file C:\Config.msi\.
Error: 5. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to modify the security
permissions for this file."
This is being done on a Win 2K SP4 with all the latest fixes. The changes
indicated on KB237578 have been made and did a check in cmd prompt: "cacls
c:\" for NT authority but just get a result for "Everyone".
Info on this problem are sketchy at best. Anyone have any experience with
this?
 
Are you sure NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM has full control rights on both C:\ and
C:\Config.msi\?

If not, add SYSTEM to them and make sure it will propagate to child objects
inside the Advanced button. If that still does not help, you may need to take
ownership and set the permission again.

BR,
Denis
