Windows 8 Installation files cannot extract

GeorgeNidri · Mar 6, 2015

So this morning I installed windows 8.1 on a machine that previously ran windows 7. Everything ran fine until I started installing programs. Every setup file I run fails to extract installation files and gives me an error. I tried running them as administrator but still, the same exact error. I am pretty convinced that they don't have permission.

Any help?

Thanks in advance...

Thanks, I did the update, I will check If anything gets fixed.

This is true, I have not any issues right now but I will look for any.

Unfortunately, after the update I still could not install the specific apps that failed. And yes, I also now think that the files may have been corrupted, it may have just been a coincidence that some apps refused to extract. I managed to install my printer drivers by extracting the files with 7-zip so, there's that.

Thanks for your time, If I come across any further errors I will keep you updated.

Well, installing Assetto Corsa I installed directx and I got this error. The sentence which is not in english translates to "The requested operation requires elevation."

Well, I now have errors with some wheel drivers. It says it can't access some folder named "05e~1" in Users folder.

I checked in the users folder with show hidden enabled and I didn't see anything.
