Decompression error 200000002

Hi Mark,

assuming the Users folder is not "write protected":

It's very well possible that this is caused by a false-positive (bug <g>) on this specific machine. Something like... the protection software (real-time) monitors the installer and blocks the create file API. As a result, the API fails and returns an error.

I was having the same problem, but mine was "write protected". thank you for clearing this up.

It turned out that this user's machine was really messed up. His IT guy had to reinstall windows. Turned out that he couldnt save files to a number of folders he should have had access to as an admin - even when run as admin was used. I see this more often than I would expect - where user profiles get torched, but still work. The odd thing about this one is that Windows had just been installed on this box a few days before.
