Hi,

I have been trying to install Impulse but have been encountering the following error that aborts the installation process.

Error
Error getting file security: C:\users\Laughingman\Desktop\
GetLastError: 5


Is this a problem with impulse not supporting/blocking the install on Windows7, as Ive heard they block some games from windows 7, or is this an unrelated error that needs a different fix?

Thanks

Where are you trying to install this to, and did you upgrade or clean install your WIndows 7?

No problem, will keep this in mind for future.

Where are you trying to install this to, and did you upgrade or clean install your WIndows 7?

I am just trying to install to the default C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Impulse but I have also tried installing it to other directories and this also has the exact same error message. I upgraded my Windows 7 to answer your second question. Thanks for any help.
