Hi Greg,

I figured it out (with help). It was a simple case of running the MakeMeAdmin program, then running the daily build Chimera .exe file as administrator through MakeMe Admin.

Thanks for the help!

Cheers,

Santana

Hi Satana,

It sounds like your problem is specific to how your company locks down your computer.  I would recommend working with one of your company's computer technicians to solve it.  The alternate is to install it somewhere you do have permission.  Perhaps your company has a location it prefers.

If it helps, the Windows installer was generated using the Inno Setup program.  I see that there is new minor version out, so I'll update it. So the daily builds will be done with the newer installer generator.  But I doubt that will make any difference.

    Good luck,

    Greg

Hi there,

I’m having trouble installing chimera on my work windows laptop for the IUCR2023 Phenix workshop. The installation keeps failing due to being unable to create the directory in the C drive (see screenshot).

My organisation does restrict administrator rights on this laptop and requires me to apply for it for a limited period of time, but I have enabled these before starting the installation. I note that the installer didn’t ask for admin access when installing here on this computer before the License Agreement, but it did on my personal laptop which proceeded with the installation just fine.

Am I missing something with the installation package? This is happening for both the daily build executable and the 1.6.1 build.

Regards,

Santana
