Windows 7 InstallShield 2008 Not registring DLLs

[eksilva]

Hi,
I have a problem that occurred only in some Win 7 Ultimate systems.
In my setup is suppose (among others) to copy files to the "Program Files" & "System32" directories.
The problem occurred when the setup try to copy files to the "System32" directory.
The install shield raise this error message box:
"Error 1926. Could not set file security for file C:\Windows\system32\, Error: 0. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to modify the security permissions for this file. "

I run the setup "As Administrator", run it when logged on as the user administrator, and still get this error every time I ran the setup.

As I write in the beginning this is only happens in some Windows 7, on other system it works fine.

I'm compiling the setup with InstallShield 2008 - Professional

It seems like you are encountering an issue with file security permissions while trying to copy files to the "System32" directory during the setup process on some Windows 7 Ultimate systems. The error message "Error 1926. Could not set file security for file C:\Windows\system32\, Error: 0. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to modify the security permissions for this file." indicates a permission-related problem. Here are some steps you can take to address this issue: 1. Temporary Disable UAC (User Account Control): - Sometimes, User Account Control can interfere with certain installations. Temporarily disabling UAC may help. You can adjust this in Control Panel > User Accounts > Change User Account Control Settings. 2. Check User Account Permissions: - Ensure that the account you are using has the necessary permissions to write to the "System32" directory. Being logged in as an administrator doesn't always guarantee full access. 3. Run the Installer as System Account: - You can try running the setup using the system account. This can sometimes bypass permission issues. One way to do this is using PsExec tool from Sysinternals Suite. 4. Check Group Policy Settings: - In some cases, group policy settings may restrict access, even for administrators. 5. Review InstallShield Configuration: - Check the options in your InstallShield configuration that relate to file permissions and system interactions. You may need to adjust settings. 6. Update InstallShield: - Since you are using InstallShield 2008, consider updating to a newer version if possible. Newer versions might have addressed compatibility issues with Windows 7 Ultimate. 7. Test on a Clean Windows 7 System: - Test the setup on a clean Windows 7 Ultimate system to see if the issue is specific to certain system configurations. By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve the file security permission issue you are facing during installation on Windows 7 Ultimate systems.
