Hi, I'm playing around with installation of a number of older, Win 98/Win ME era sound programs. One I'm working on right now comes up with what, for me, is sort of a standard problem. I get a dialog box with this message: "Severe - Unable to create a directory under C:\PROG~FBU\GSampler. Please check write access to this directory." I'm running the installation form an xterm. The only thing in the xterm seems pretty benign: flash cdrom $ fixme:dialog:MSGBOX_OnInit task modal msgbox ! Not modal yet. The current contents of the GSampler directory are: flash mark $ ls c/Program\ Files/GSampler/ CD1FileSize.lst CD2FileSize.lst CD3FileSize.lst CRP32DLL.DLL CRP9516E.DLL CRYP95E.DLL DeIsL1.isu GS.HLP GSEDIT.HLP GSEnv.dll SCONVERT.HLP Sconvert.exe VRTKRNLD.vxd XCK16DB.EXE gs.exe gsdll.dll gsedit.exe midi.drv mp3FileSize.lst oemFileSize.lst oemFileSize_GetsAppendedToCD1FileSizeForLeOemBuilds.lst register.txt release.txt unstall.dll flash mark $ ls c/Program\ Files/GSampler/ Now, the GSampler directory was created by this install program. Why can't this program create a directory under GSampler? Permissions look like: flash mark $ ls c/Program\ Files/GSampler/ls -al c/Program\ Files/ ls: c/Program Files/GSampler/ls: No such file or directory c/Program Files/: total 36 drwxr-xr-x 9 mark users 4096 Oct 20 10:52 . drwxr-xr-x 8 mark users 4096 Oct 18 19:05 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 mark users 4096 May 26 10:20 Common Files drwxr-xr-x 4 mark users 4096 Oct 18 18:11 Finale NotePad 2004 drwxr-xr-x 2 mark users 4096 Oct 20 10:52 GSampler drwxr-xr-x 3 mark users 4096 Sep 19 15:53 Native Instruments drwxr-xr-x 3 mark users 4096 May 28 07:55 Sonic Foundry Setup drwxr-xr-x 4 mark users 4096 Sep 18 08:59 Steinberg drwxr-xr-x 2 mark users 4096 Sep 18 11:44 Vstplugins flash mark $ And the Wine threads seemed to be owned by me: mark .. 10:51 0:11 /usr/bin/wineserver mark .. 10:51 0:09 /usr/bin/wine-pthread E:\_ins0432._mp -fS:\SETUP.INS -z1 -cx -xE:\ What can I do to allow the program to write to this location???
