Hi, I am using windows 8.1, but I can't install any programs. The programs each say "Error writing to file C:\Program Files\*Programs Directory*. Verify that you have access to that directory". I have tried installing many programs, but none work. Macromedia Dreamweaver displays a slightly different message: "1: Failed to install ISKernal Files. Make sure you have appropriate privileges on this machine." but I think its the same problem. Macromedia forums suggested running in compatibility mode, but that didn't work. I have tried disabling my anti virus and windows defender, but they were not causing the problem. I have run out of ideas so please suggest any ideas.
Thanks.

That looks OK (assuming it is for your profile). What is the permission tab like? Is it the same as in Post #10?

Here is my permissions screen:
Well it was worth checking in case it was screwed up somehow. It looks fine - both are identical to mine which I did a clean install yesterday. I'm not sure what to suggest now, sorry. I'll think about it but perhaps someone else will have an idea.

Okay, I might take it to a computer shop or re-install windows if the problem persists. Thanks for your help anyway.
