Hello,

I'm trying to update some applications that are already
installed but I get the error message:

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.

I have checked in my c: root directory with "dir /ah" but
I can't see Config.Msi

I have admin right and full control on C:

I have seen a previous post about this problem but I can't
find the solution to my problem.

Thanks
Laurent
 
One thing to verify is that NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM has full control on the C drive.
Try running "cacls.exe c:\" from a command prompt. You should at least see
something that includes the following:

C:\>cacls c:\
c:\ BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)F
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)F

Hope this helps,

I have the same problem as the root post, but when I ran
cacls, the following is displayed:
c:\cacls c:\
c:\ Everyone:(OI)(CI)C

Is this part of my problem? What can I do to resolve this?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Roger
