Softwares Can't Be Installed From an External Hard Drive
When I try to install a software from an external hard drive I can't. But when I copy that file onto desktop I can.
How to fix that?

Hi, how does your attempt fail when you try to install a program, and what is the program you're trying to install? What error message do you get? There may be an event in your event log.
Thanks.
The error when I tried to install a software from an external drive is :
"The system cannot find the path specified"
Again, what is the program you are trying to install?
(Note- software is an uncountable noun, so 'a software' isn't possible)
You could try copying the file to a temporary place on your pc then right click on it and select properties. Some files if they've come from an external source some times have a check box to unblock it from fully running.
Any program acts like that.
I think this is annoying.
Hi, have a look in your event log, event viewer; see if there's any other information.
Also try running chkdsk on your external disk.
What we don't know is what the program is trying to do.. is this a write or a read error? Is it a permissions problem?
At what stage in the attempted installation does this fail... as soon as you try to run the installer? At some stage during the installation?
No it's not an upgrade install.
I also can't initiate "chkdsk". "Access is Denied" error.
