Can't execute .exe file because lack of permission

Hello,

I'm running Windows 7 Premium 64bit.
I am the only user and thus also the administrator.
Now I'm trying to install a game using the .exe, but than I get this error: Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
I checked, but the security settings seem to be right.
I also tried this solution: Take Ownership Shortcutbut that didn't work either.
Can anyone tell me what the problem is here?

Thanks,
Ferry

Hello Ferry,

If you have not already, see if right clicking on the .exe file and clicking on Run as administrator (elevated) will allow it to install. :)

Hope this helps,
Shawn

I tried that, didn't work.

As a test, you might enable the built-in Administrator, log on to it, then try installing the game again to see if it will now.

No, I get the same message.

Brink said:

Where is it trying to install the program at?

Did the error message specify the path of what it didn't have access to?

What did you take ownership of?

This is all I get to see:


That's Dutch for: Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

I took ownership of the folder where the .exe is in.

If not already, try having the .exe file on your desktop, then use run as administrator on it.

If that doesn't help, then double check to see if you have ownership, and had set permissions to have "Full control" for your user account for the .exe file.

Take Ownership of file - Vista Forums

Nope, still didn't work and I do have full rights.
