error 1926

About this tag
Error 1926 is a Windows installation error that occurs when a setup program cannot set security permissions on a file or folder, typically within the C:\Windows directory. The error message states: 'Error 1926. Could not set security for file... Error: 0. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to modify the security permissions for this file.' This issue has been reported on Windows 7 systems, including 64-bit and Ultimate editions, during installations of software like Boris FX RED 5 and setups created with InstallShield 2008. Even running the installer as an administrator or disabling User Account Control may not resolve the problem. Troubleshooting often involves checking file and folder permissions, particularly on the Windows folder or System32 subdirectory.
