Driver Install Access Denied

"Access Denied" Message During USB Device Installation

"Access is Denied" when attempting to install drivers on Windows 7

I am getting an Access denied error when attempting to install the display driver for my HP LP2475w monitor on Windows 7 64-bit. How can I resolve - 650113.

This is just a quick post to share a problem I had while trying to update the firmware on an MK808B recently, and the solution I came up with.  The problem was trivial, but none of the suggested solutions that I found online were appropriate, so I am sharing what happened here to save other people the same issue.

I downloaded the USB drivers for a device, connected the device, and waited for Windows to ask about drivers for it. I had the drivers downloaded and extracted ready for installation.

When I selected the folder with the drivers, Windows proceeded to try to install the drivers, but then very quickly reported Access is denied.

The same happened if I tried to update driver from in Device Manager.

The problem was caused by the folder containing the drivers being read-only, and I think, encrypted but I am a bit fuzzy on what the Encrypted attribute really does on Windows 7.

I solved the problem by right-clicking on the folder, and unticking read-only and encrypted and applying that to the entire folder and its contents.  This took a few seconds for Windows to fix the attributes on all the files.

After that I was able to install the driver without incident.

Hopefully this helps save someone else some hassle.

Update: If you are running Windows 8.1 there is a related problem where you basically can t use unsigned drivers anymore.  That s a separate issue.

I am trying to install my USB controller on my Windows machine. After I install the driver NI-488.2, NI-DAQmx, etc., I reboot the PC, and after it powers up, I plug.
