[SOLVED] Installing Memorex Expressit under Win 7

I am trying to install Memorex's "exPressit Label Design Studio software on my Win 7 system. When I run the installer, I get to the point where I get the error message:

"the file C:\Windows\System32\ctl3d32.dll could not be opened. Please check that your disk is not full and that you have access to the destination directory. Access is denied."

This is a 250gb drive, with 175gb free space, so the drive is not full. I can access the Windows\System32 directory, so the security level is not a problem.

Does anyone have a clue why I cannot install the program. The program is a free program that is designed to print disk labels on Memorex CD/DVD's. It was downloaded from the Memorex web site, so it is a safe program.

Thanks for any help.

It sounds like a permissions issue. Try taking ownership of the file before the install and run the installer as Administrator.

That would probably work if it was possible; you can't take ownership of files. Only folders, and I don't think taking ownership of the system32 folder is a good idea.

Though, it might be able install in safe mode.

I can take ownership of files with a little registry tweak. And so can you. Enjoy!

Thanks for the take ownership patch. I installed it, then ran the Install Wizard for the Memorex exPressit program, and it installed without a hitch.

Have a great one.

Ain't success grand?

I am having the same problem and trying to install the registry tweak. It keep opening in Window word pad, what can I do to get this to install correctly?

If double clicking opens it in Wordpad (Notepad?) try right clicking and select "Merge" from your Context Menu.

Sorry to be so thick on this subject, but when I right click I don't see "Merger" nor do I see a Context Menu. I am opening if from my download folder.

Thanks

Have you unzipped it?
