My windows 7 computer has three accounts. Two regular user accounts and an administrator account. I am administrator, but use one of the user accounts for web browsing.
I attempted to update CCleaner (free version) after logging on to the administrator account.
Downloading was fine, but when I went to install version 5.04.5151 (64 bit) it gave me the error: "CCleaner v5.04 setup
error opening file for writing".
According to your FAQs, this error says I need administrator permission.
I WAS logged in AS Administrator. I gave permission for the program to make changes to my computer. It STILL gave me the error!
I switched to my regular user account, and downloaded the file.
I told it to run the file. I was asked for the administrator password, and entered it. the program installed with NO PROBLEMS!
Is this a problem with CCleaner or Windows 7?
