I keep getting this message. Running W2k and yes, I have full administrative rights. This is coming out of the DVD2SVCD install package which I have previously had installed on this machine.

Any simple fix??

Thanks

Install 2.5.7-RC2

or unprotect all the files in the C:\Program Files\Avisynth... tree i.e. undo readonly|hidden|system and/or fix the ACLs!

In your case colors_rgb.avsi at least is protected, there are probably other files protected as well.

I just deleted the entire Avisynth Folder and started again. Everything installed correctly this time.

Thought I had already tried that, but apparently not. (Doh)

Thanks

A Skilled professional!

He reaches for the biggest hammer first :D

I guess deleting the tree counts as unprotecting :D

Brutal but if it gets the job done....

I just had this exact same problem and wanted to thank you, too.

Let's hear it for "search."
