Installation of Google Data API fails #606

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download and try to install Google Data API msi on Windows 7 (SP1 - b4 bit, 
admin account)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect a complete install. Instead installer fails with error: "The installer 
has insufficient privileges to access this directory: xxx The installer cannot 
continue."

Where xxx denotes the location of my user folder.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

2.1. on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit (SP1)

Please provide any additional information below.

In addition, I find that the whole drive (in which my user folder is stored) 
has become read only. After cancelling the installer, I have to reset the 
folder attributes. 

Re-attempting installation sets the drive to read only again.

I've tried disabling UAC completely, but that hasn't helped. 

I'm not sure the Read-Only thing is being set by the installer though...

That's expected, you need administrator privileges to install the SDK.

If you can't, you can still checkout the source and build it yourself.

Thanks for the reply.

As I stated, I am the administrator. I also tried it with UAC disabled. I am 
also the owner of that folder.

I'm not sure about building the source, but I'll try and see what you mean.

You have to use svn to checkout the source as explained at 
http://code.google.com/p/google-gdata/source/checkout, then open the solution 
and build it
