AvoK95 wroteI upgraded all my PC's in the house to Windows 8 including my main rig. I installed
Start8 so that I get the old start menu back, but I uninstalled it since I got used to the Windows 8 UI start menu. But it seems to have caused me some sort of problem. I am unable to install anything new on my machine. All setups give me an error claiming that, they are unable to find "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu" and that they don't have any permission to access it, even if I run all setups as Administrator. I Googled for 2 weeks and still did not find a solution. Can any of you help me out here ?
Well, I have no idea if what I'm going to propose is going to work or not but you can give it a try anyway...
Navigate to the path that appears in the error message...
1. If it's not there, try to create the folders yourself. And proceed to the second point.
2. If the folder structure is already there, right click and choose properties. Choose the security tab, then click on the Edit button. Click on the Add button. Type "Everyone" in the textarea and click Ok. Then give it Full Control permissions.
Let me know if that helps.
