#922: GRASS installer can not install unser "program files" (Windows7 only) ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: naokiueda | Owner: [email protected] Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: 6.4.0 Component: Installation | Version: svn-releasebranch64 Resolution: | Keywords: wingrass, WIndows7 Platform: MSWindows 7 | Cpu: Unspecified ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Comment (by marisn):
Replying to [comment:16 hellik]: > IMHO "right click and ''run as administrator''" for installing a software in WinVista/Win7 is the "normal" way to install software on the Windows-box (i have to do this on all WinVista/Win7-out-of-the-box- machines, that i know, and for all kind of softwares (opensource and proprietary) and often noted in README-files etc. for the software). > > Helmut It doesn't matter what is considered a "normal way". If installator fails to create direcotry for file extraction, then there is no reason why to continue and not fail with error message. It doesn't matter what is the root of failure (insufficent rights, read-only file system, disk full etc.). Still hint about "run as admin" or "check free disk space" would be nice.
