Insufficient rights when creating Start Menu items during installation
Hi forum,
I have an issue when installing software in general on my Windows 10 Pro installation.
So far i've tried with Skype and VirtualBox and both installations are having issues when it comes to create the Start Menu shortcuts, i get the error and have to cancel the installation: The installer has insufficient privileges to access the directory: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Oracle VM VirtualBox. The installer cannot continue. Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator.
What i've tried so far:
- Running the installer with Administrator rights
- Taking ownership over the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu folder, using this method: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windo...menu-in-vista/
These steps have helped some users with the same issue, but i cant seem to catch a break, i still can't install software.
Any help would be much appreciated.
