Err Msg: Error Copying File Cannot Copy Config Access Is Denied (174951)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q174951

SYMPTOMS

When you try to install the Zero Administration Kit for Windows 95, you may receive one or more of the following error messages:

  • Error Copying File
    Cannot copy config: Access is denied
    Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is
    not currently in use. A failure occurred while copying Zero Administration Kit for Windows 95
    components from the CD to the location you specified. Please check that
    you have enough disk space prior to running Setup again. Error Copying File
    Cannot copy config: cannot create or replace. File does not exist.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur for either of the following reasons:

  • The account that is logged on and is installing the Zero Administration Kit for Windows 95, has insufficient permissions to the NETLOGON share or the network share location for policy files that you specified during setup.
  • You do not have "full" access to the NETLOGON share folder.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, add the account or group (with at least change permissions) to the NETLOGON share or the network share specified during installation. For example, if the domain controller computer name is ALPHA, the network share location would be \\ALPHA\NETLOGON. On ALPHA, the default NETLOGON share would be located at: 

   %systemroot%\system32\repl\import\scripts.

Add the appropriate permissions needed for the user or group installing Zero Administration Kit for Windows 95.

NOTE: You can use this method, or you can set the NETLOGON share to "full" access.
