    Error message when trying to load a program


    Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    I have a digital microscope and the program I'm trying to run is the installation exe. I've tried running it as an administrator but no luck.

    Curios, place the installation.exe on your desktop and then try running again.

    Kindly provide a link for the program's download. Is it an obsolete program?

    Have you right-clicked on installation exe then selected Properties and then clicked in any Unblock checkbox that might appear?

    Please would you post a screenshot of the error dialog so we can see exactly what Windows is claiming not to have access to.
