    Setup Resource Decompression Failure on Windows Pro


    Greetings,

    I am trying to install some programs on my Windows 10 Laptop and each time I get this Setup Failure. The only way to successfully install is

    to login using the Hidden Administrator. Thus, I believe the issue is related to a security permissions problem. As far as I know permissions have not changed since installing Windows 10 pro several months ago. I recall that when the OS was 1st installed I was able to install programs without the above error.

    I have investigated permissions for Users/Groups and have gotten confused about the different User names associated with my account. I would like some direction to confirm that I have the proper permissions for User names and Windows TEMP folders.

    Thanks, Bill

    :)

    setup resource decompression failure

    This can happen with an installer if it's based on InstallAware. One thing to check is if there's a file in your Temp folder called "mia1" -- InstallAware installers try to create a *folder* by the same and if there is a file there by that name they throw
    the "setup resource decompression failure". If you find that file, delete it and re-run your setup.

    setup resource decompression failure

    I am trying to install a program and I keep getting the error message "setup resource decompression failure". Disk space is not an issue, so what else can I do to resolve this issue? I am running Win10 & the installer is Installaware.

    Thanks,
