Cannot install to other folder but C drive only on Windows 10 Pro #35

Closed gengjunwu closed 3 years ago

It does not matter which folder I chose or new folder I created under C drive, all the files are dumped in C:\ directly. There is not any way I can install it, say, C:\Program Files(x86)\ClawPDF.

It is actually Windows 10 permission problem. Here is the solution:

Here can be a solution:

rename your .msi RUN.msi

move it to C:

run CMD as an admin

type cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64

type msiexec.exe /a C:\RUN.msi
