    Access is Denied when installing Corel X4


    So we got the new laptop with a fresh copy of Windows 7 64bit. Additionally, a copy of Wilcom Decostudio with Corel Draw X4. It wont install...it keeps throwing up a message of ACCESS IS DENIED, file /DRAW/, Feature: wilcom Decostudio, when it starts to install the Corel program.

    This has stumped Corel and Wilcom.

    Here is what we have done so far.
    - Taken ownership of directories in the program files (X86) path
    - Lowered the UAC to nothing
    - Ensure it was part of an admin account.- I can create and add files to the program file path with no issue, manually.
    - Tried it on my Vista machine and it installed fine

    None of these have worked, so I am looking for more options. This is a fresh install of the software that came with the Lenovo laptop from IBM in the past week.

    Thank all in advance

    Welcome!

    Try right-clicking on the installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

    Try taking ownership of the install file, then run it...

    Thanks... I will try this tonight. Im assuming that i need to move the install files to the HD from the DVD to change ownership?
