Installation Error: NI Device Monitor folder

[hendra@ngms]

Installing CVI 2017 from the DVD set, from and Admin login account.  When installing the NI Device Drivers DVD 1, it gets to about 14% done, creates a folder "NI Device Drivers", which it then cannot access because the installer doe not have permission.  From my admin login I cannot open it, move it, change permissions, because I don't have permission.

Why does it do this?  How can it do this?

I have encountered this on more than one installation.  Unfortunately I don't recall what the solution was last time.

Hello!

When starting the exe for installing, are you able to right-click the exe and select "Run as Administrator"? You'd mentioned being signed into an account that has Administrator permissions, but I am curious if we want to force it to run the installer as the admin.

I can try that.  I've been just clicking the "Install Software" selection from the splash panel.  I may run into the situation though that it cannot delete the directory it created the first time.  I'll let you know...

This sure sounds like a goof on NI's part...

Yes, it worked.  Thanks very much.
