Error opening file for writing

[ams07]

Hi

I just got my toshiba laptop from a family friend. I was excited usin windows 7 till I tried installing my softwares. It won't let me install power iso, daemon tools. When I install it a message pops up saying error opening file for writing. It points to a dll file. I don't know what to do.

I am new here so I apologise if I posted in the wrong section.

Please help me. Thank you in advance

I can tell you that Daemon tools does not seem to play well with Windows 7. It has been the sources of a lot of BSOD's. How old is your Power ISO version?

Download the latest Daemon Tools from the link below.

@rich - the page does not work.

@Carl - I tried the latest version 4.7

That is odd, I just tried it and it works for me.

Give me the precise information for Daemon Tools, ver etc. I will try to get the information.

What is the name of the dll which throws the error?

 

[ams07]

theres a lot of errors. I try ignoring them but they keep coming up. They are all different.

 

[ams07]

my fault rich. It didnt work on my ipod but works on my laptop.

but it says that poweriso is compatible with the 64bit version. It still doesnt work. As a matter of fact daemon tools is compatible too but it still wont install.

Do you have the install DVD?
If yes do a repair install if no

Type cmd in search. right click and run as administrator. In cmd type sfc /scannow

 

[ams07]

I did rich. It says windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation

 

[richc46]

Do you have the DVD?

 

[ams07]

no i dont. I usually do it but this time a family friend did it all for me.

 

[richc46]

I think that you should get the DVD that was used to install the OS and do a repair install. If a friend did it for you he may have done an upgrade rather than a clean install, you may be better off getting the DVD, key and do a clean install. Ask your friend for the specifics.

Will a system restore delete windows 7? If I do a system restore to factory settings will that fix the problem? and will I have to install windows 7 again?

 

[richc46]

I did not think that you had system restore points yet. Go to an early point and try it.

If it does not work, and you try factory settings, you will lose all of your programs, settings etc. It will be like the day it came from the factory.

If it were mine, before doing factory settings, I would do a clean install. If your friend did a clean install you can go the factory settings route, if not, I would go with the clean install.

I will be very happy to help with the clean install. We have tuts, you can watch youtube and it is easy.

You have the facts, tell me what you want and I will try my best to help.

 

[ams07]

I barely have anything on here. I am just gonna go with a system restore. Should I just click the system restore option which pops up when you search?

Thanks so much for your help rich
