Software Installation - Error 2203?
I've been running Windows 10 Home on three systems since Nov. 2015. I have repeatedly run into this error when installing or even uninstalling software. I never received this error while running Windows 7.
I have spent hours researching this, and believe it is a permission issue. Even though I have an administrator account on all of the systems, and have the UAC setting to "Never Notify", I got numerous notifications when copying/renaming/etc. files. I also got this error.
I have gone into my "most used" folders and given myself full control permission. I did the same on my Windows "Installer" folder and user account "Temp" folder. This helped significantly!
I still run into the Error 2203. I now found if I set the following registry value to "0" and reboot, I workaround the error:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"EnableLUA"=dword:00000000
However, I have to re-enable this after doing the install/uninstall that gave the error. Windows won't let me run Edge, etc. if this is set to "0".
What's up with this error? I know have a workaround, but something isn't right. Thanks for any replies!
