During the installation of a downloaded program on Windows 8.1, taking all the defaults, I see a command-line window open with the content,
"SUCCESS: The file (or folder): "xxx" now owned by user "(user&computer_name)".
processed file: xxx.exe
Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files"
where xxx is the installation file or program pathname. The installation ends with a report of success but thereafter the program cannot be found in "Crogram Files" or "Crogram Files (x86)," and is not named under "Start/Programs and Features."
Running the installation task with explicitly invoked administrative privileges works sometimes, but not apparently when the new installation is a driver.
I've installed programs on all Windows versions since -98 and this is the first Windows for which I've ever seen a black-background command-line window appear during an installation. Has anyone else experienced this window? Did it tell you the same lie? The real question is, how to get around it and obtain a successful installation?
Thanks for your attention.
