Another UAC problem?
D/L newer 64-bit driver for my older webcam from this page:
http://support.logitech.com/en_us/pr...-mp/downloads#
My webcam, S5500, is listed as being supported.
It started installing, went almost to the end, and 3 subfolders were installed, but no exe file. I'm getting the UAC stuff
"Run as Admin:" "You don't have permission to install this."
I switched to the Hidden Admin account and got a similar message "insufficient privileges," then 5 reasons for denial One is "you don't have permission to access "C:\Program Data\filename" for 5 files. Contact your administrator." I don't know why that folder is involved in this.
Attachment 14311 #1,2 5 are not relevant.
I tried temporarily lowering the security lever on my user account. nada
Then I tried another copy of the file, from a different part of the website, although it's possible they're both corrupt/ identical.
Again, this is something I need for occasional online work, otherwise I wouldn't bother.

Some times, when that happens on install, I right click the installer and select Run as Admin [ or words to that effect ] .
Have had good luck with that trick so far.

You didn't read all of my post. 4th paragraph.

The install is all automated, and goes into Program Files (implied 64-bit.) Dozens of files appear to unzip, and it looks almost complete, and then I get the message in the image I posted. I originally posted this on SevenForums, and they were stymied too. It's possible the file is corrupt. When I get my XP machine in order, I'll run my old 32-bit webcam program on there, but it will have to connect to the web.
Since I got this Win 7 puter, I spend more time troubleshooting than working. I managed to keep XP safe for 3 years with few extra security programs running resident.

That error message, like most error messages, is not really very helpful. It just means that the programmer created one error message to cover all possible error conditions. I might try re-downloading the install package file again.
If most of the files are there, can you find the .exe that you would normally run? If yes, you could try running that just to see what happens. There may be a way to get it running using some manual fixes.

One other thing you could try would be to completely disable UAC (temporarily) to see if the install works then. Disable UAC, reboot, try the install, re-enable UAC. I do NOT recommend leaving UAC disabled all the time, due to the sophistication of today's malware, so re-enable it again whether or not the install works.

Most of the files disappeared with the error message. Only icons and read-me's left. Tried the registry hack, (then reinstated it, in case you're worrying) no diff, so it's not the UAC. That makes me feel better. Let's drop this for now, as a new webcam is not in the immediate future.
I'll bet Linux users don't have to change their hardware every time the OS is upgraded...

The last thing I can think of to try is to power off the computer when the error message appears (not shut down - cut the power). This would leave the files in place. However, it might cause other issues.

Did you ever repair the junction points like I said? You didn't reply.

I don't think it's fair to blame Win7, if you messed with things like junction points.
I'm assuming you downloaded lws110_x64.exe

I've tried this with that 3 copies of that same webcam driver from different parts of the Logitech site. Maybe time for a new webcam.
