Silverlight has install "Access denied" even with Admin rights

My stream of cable asked than to uninstall and reinstall silverlight. So I uninstalled and now whenever I try to extract the downloaded .exe file to silverlight, I get a prompt message 'Access denied'. I have administrator rights and can not extract when I "run as administrator". I recently installed McAfee VirusScan Enterprise, so I don't know if this is what's blocking me. I turn off the analysis of access on, and I still get "Access denied" - help?

  • I have to become the administrator, BUT I install as someone else with Admin rights

    Y at - he an Admin account 'secret' that I don't see that I can become/use?

    No, I'm not being funny.  If I use my admin account, I will be always challenged to confirm some tasks such as facilities.  The dialog box that appears does not have a password that I'm already in the account, but it makes me just confirm with an OK button.  I could reduce the frequency of these confirmations by reducing the intensity of the UAC in order the user account settings control panel, user accounts, change, but it doesn't bother me if I leave UAC to the maximum power.  Of Oberwald explanation & WARNING [below] are correct - leaving UAC high helps inhibit malware.

    What what happens or something else?

    I don't know where you can get more details using Windows [accounts] otherwise than by searching this forum for the admin facilities, UAC, but there would be so many results you'd be overwhelmed.  You can try www.sevenforums.com

  • Just as a reference: how to FIX the annoying 'White Screen Of Death"with Silverlight and"Access denied"error with computer management.

    Well, I just hope that someone who has met these two mistakes will find my dose. It might save a lot of pointless research on the net.

    SYMPTOMS:
    -When you try to open a Silverlight application in your browser (Firefox, Chrome, IE, etc), your browser displays only a white area. When you right click on the white area, you can click on the Silverlight properties.
    -If you try to start "Computer management" by clicking on the 'My Computer' icon and select 'Manage', you get the following error: 'access denied '.

    CAUSE:
    The following errors are usually the result of a bad environment variable. In this case the "windir" environment variable does not work correctly. You can try running the management of the computer to start > run and entering:
    %windir%\system32\mmc.exe/s %windir%\system32\compmgmt.msc

    Notice the between the characters of percentage windir environment variable. If you run the above code, you will probably get an error saying that MMC cannot open the file. Look closely at the path, it's back!
    You will probably find any % somewhere.

    What actually happened here is the variable windir made reference to another variable: systemroot
    Why this creates problems, I'm not sure. Also, I don't understand what made then variable windir change.

    SOLUTION:
    -From your desktop or Explorer: right-click on "My computer" and select "Properties".
    -Click on the "Advanced" tab and then click "Environment Variables".

    http://pcauthorities.com/images/advanced-system-properties-XP.jpg

    -Did the windir variable. Together to "C:\Windows" do not think that it is already set to "C:\Windows", because windows then tells you. Double-click it to know for sure.

    -See, I told you! Change this to "C:\Windows".

  • Silverlight has install problem-64 bit PC with win7 32 OS installed

    Trying to help a friend with Silverlight.  She has a portable 64-bit with Win 7 32 installed on it.  Websites with Silverlight request installed Silverlight even if it is installed.  I did a number of installs / uninstalls.

    I removed the registry and suggested somewhere else such directory information.   However when I uninstalled Silverlight I noticed also that the registry and directory information was missing.   This suggests that installs it Silverlight is not broken.

    The first question - is he's having a problem installing Silverlight on a 32 bit running on a 64-bit computer OS? (I did the installation of the OS :>)

    If I need to upgrade the operating system to the 64-bit version upgrade takes all existing programs to be reinstalled?

    If the 32 / 64 mix - up is not the question so what step should be taken next?

    Thank you very much for the help.

    Hi IAmAPC,

    64-bit computer supports 64 and 32 bits of the operating system on it. To run a 64-bit version of Windows, your computer must have a processor 64-bit capable.

    Silver light is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit processor and operating system. Windows X 86 or x 64 1.6 gigahertz (GHz) or higher with 512 MB RAM

  • Access denied even if I am System Admin!

    I'm a YouTuber, and some of my old videos get saved in a folder. When I try to delete them that said "you need to provide administrator permission to make changes to this file. I AM THE ADMINISTRATOR! I BOUGHT THE COMPUTER AND CONFESS! I deleted the files like these before on the same account, network and computer! WHY NOW?!

    Hi Patrick,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft forums.

    I understand that you are in a frustrating situation because you found an "Access denied" message even after the connection to the computer by using an administrator account. We will help you solve the problem.

    Access denied cause my occur if you do not have permission to the folder.

    We will try these steps and check.

    Method 1:

    You can consult the following Microsoft article and check if it helps.

    "Access denied" or other errors in the access to or work with files and folders in Windows

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2623670

    If the problem occurs even from the administrator account, check whether this is due to a software Antivirus installed on the computer. We had some cases where the issues of "access denied" occurred because of the conflicts of safety program third party with the driver installation. So, try the following suggestions.

    If the problem persists, I suggest to try the next step and check if it helps.

    Method 2:

    Temporarily disable third-party security program. (If you have installed everything)

    I ask you to contact technical support Antivirus to disable it temporarily and then see if that solves the problem.

    Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    I hope this helps.

    Please report if the problem persists and we will be happy to help you further.

  • Get access denied logged as admin, trying to get to My Documents - Windows XP

    I am logged as an administrator and my own documents folder.  I created a new folder and moved some files in the My Documents folder.

    Now when I try to open the new folder for the files, I get the access denied message.  I check the properties, and there is no security tab and show tab General information there are 0 bytes of information.  It seems that all information is lost for all the files that I moved.  How can this happen?  If the authorization allowed to me created a new folder and move the file why now is completely missing information?

  • Different users accessing the data with different rights

    Hello
    I just started with Oracle and I don't know if
    This is the right way for what I was intending.

    I want to allow access to the data (tables, views,...) to different users with different rights.
    For example a user with select only the rights and another with select and insert rights.

    Database Oracle 10 g Express Edition is.

    Here are the steps I did:

    -This user will be allowed to select only
    create user UserSelectOnly...;

    -This user will have select and insert privileges
    create user UserSelectAndInsert...;

    -This user only contains data
    create user BaseDB...;

    -creation of test in BaseDB data
    create the table tdTest (...);

    -definition of role in BaseDB for right to select
    create the role RoleSelectOnly;

    -granting SELECT privilege for RoleSelectOnly
    Grant select on tdTest to RoleSelectOnly;

    -select grant (role) to the user UserSelectOnly
    grant RoleSelectOnly to UserSelectOnly;

    -definition of role in BaseDB to select and insert privileges
    create the role RoleSelectAndInsert;

    -grant select and insert privilege for RoleSelectAndInsert
    Grant select, insert on tdTest to RoleSelectAndInsert;

    -grant select and insert (role) to the user UserSelectAndInsert
    grant RoleSelectAndInsert to UserSelectAndInsert;

    My problem is that the definition of user (BaseDB) works as a database.
    Are there more effective ways in Oracle 10 g Express?

    Thank you
    Wilfried

    Hello Wilfried and welcome to the forum.

    First of all, it's a property that you have given time to review the security of the database.

    My immediate comments:

    You have 3 users:

    -This user only contains data
    create user BaseDB...;

    Very well, good thing. Use an administrative account/data owner.
    You might consider locking when you do not have administrative tasks in the schema.

    -This user will be allowed to select only
    create user UserSelectOnly...;

    -This user will have select and insert privileges
    create user UserSelectAndInsert...;

    OK, but no need to take account of their privileges in the names. You could simply call their

    SomeUser
    AnotherUser

    You have two roles

    -definition of role in BaseDB for right to select
    create the role RoleSelectOnly;

    -definition of role in BaseDB to select and insert privileges
    create the role RoleSelectAndInsert;

    Seems ok, it's a good thing here for the description of privileges in the role itself.

    Maybe I would call them something like
    RoleSelect or RoleRead or BaseDBSelectRole
    RoleInsert or RoleWrite or BaseDBUpdateRole

    Should be updated (and DELETE), as well?

    Another approach would be to separate between the tables.

    For a group of tables, select, insert, update, delete are granted to a role.

    For another group of tables, different privileges are granted to another role.

    That is, there is no general answer, correct, it depends on your application.

    Often the roles are used for ease of maintenance. In other words, if you have several users who need
    the same set of privilege, these are maintained by a role.

    Maybe you don't want to use roles, but I like them.
    But attention not only

    Select on all tables to a single role
    Insert on every table to another role
    Update on all tables to a third party role.

    Unless, of course, it gives meaning to your scenario.

    My problem is that the definition of user (BaseDB) works as a database.
    Are there more effective ways in Oracle 10 g Express?

    Not sure what you mean. Schema in Oracle and user are often used for the same thing.

    In your case, BaseDB is the owner of (all) the tables, no problem.
    As mentioned, you might choose to block the account.

    The main thing is, no application, or ad-hoc user should log in as BaseDB

    And the users of your system should be exactly the privileges they need to do their jobs
    nothing more, nothing less.

  • Access denied to the Admin for the seemingly random folders, folder modified permissions does not work

    I created a clean installation of Windows Pro 8.1

    There is only one user, who is also the administrator

    The tree of the default folders under My Documents (my music, my videos...) has apparently randomly locked access to 'user' / admin.

    For example, if I look under C:\Users\"the a user"\Documents, it opens fine.

    C:\Users\"the a user"\Documents\My Media, it opens fine.

    C:\Users\"the a user" \Documents\My photos and I get "you not currently have permission to access this folder.

    If I try to change by right-clicking the locked folder security settings, I see "a user", administrators and System have all allow for anything but special permissions.

    A user called everyone has only marked as Deny authorization.  Nothing else scored.

    The same goes for any folder that I'm locked.

    Any folder that I can access does not even own the Everyone user.

    I read a LOT of pages and articles on the web on change permissions.  None of them work because when I get to the point where I can try and change the permission to everyone, the option to do so is always locked.  Its as if for some records I'm seen as a non-admin, so no change is possible.

    For any folder that I can access, I can change and rearrange any permission I want.

    If I opened Control Panel under user accounts, there is not anyone listed, it's just the "a user."

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    On my machine of a user C:\Users\"the" \Documents\My photos you mention would be a hidden folder...

    I think that there is a residual folder of XP, my images no longer located in My Documents...

    "My photos is now directly in the C:\Users\"the a user "folder that you used in your example...

    If you really want to have access to another, you can try just by removing the "everyone"

    Or... you can click on the options at the bottom of the permissions and actually change the ownership of the folder... I don't know if I would mess with that if.

  • Impossible to install Brother printer (even with the latest drivers for windows 7). I suspect it's other print network drivers. During installation, the Brother software reports "the operation cannot be completed (error 0 x 00000706).» The print processor

    I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7
    When I try to add the printer manually, I can't select all ports.

    Plug the printer causes Windows to try to install a driver, but it fails.

    I suspect it was due to my University Pharos printing system. (It worked when I updated from Vista). After that I installed Win7 and started having all these problems, I was unable to uninstall due to errors of RPC ports. So I deleted manually and deleted all the registry entries.

    Installation of a Brother printer still does not work.

    Is anyway to reset all the settings of the printer? Wipe the slate clean? To restore all network ports?
    Thank you!

    ===
    Edit: I read other entries... My Printer Spooler kept crashing before and I had to restart via services.msc
    Also ran sfc/scannow without error
    Edit: I have since deleted all other printers listed in the management of printing, restarted, but still there is no listed ports.

    OK, I found the solution. It turned out that all my print processors and ports have been replaced by the Pharos system (used by my University to charge for printing) DLLS. After the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, it did not work.

    They have become like this:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Print Processors\winprint]
    «Pilot '=' "PSS08B07."» DLL.
    "PSDriverLink"="winprint.dll".
    «C:\\Windows\\system32\\spool\\PRTPROCS\\W32X86\\PSS08B07 "=" PSDriverPath "."» DLL.

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\USB Monitor]
    «Pilot '=' "C:\\Windows\\system32\\PSS08B05."» DLL.
    "PSDriverLink"="usbmon.dll".
    «C:\\Windows\\system32\\PSS08B05 "=" PSDriverPath "."» DLL.

    etc...

    ============

    Manually, I changed ALL the print processors, drivers and ports in CurrentControlSet, CurrentControlSet1, CurrentControlSet2 to their original values and deleted the Pharos irritating ones.
    i.e.
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Print Processors\winprint]
    "Driver"="winprint.dll".

    etc...

    restarted and it worked!
    Too bad, the troubleshooting of Microsoft tool could not detect it.

    See you soon!
