Windows 10: Setup was unable to create the directory "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\Psychedelic...

Hi I have set myself as an administrator, I have ran the Command Prompt, I refreshed the pages, but it still wont let me extract the folders from the .exe folder, and it always says"Setup was unable to create the directory "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\Psychedelic Guitars VST". Error 5: Access is Denied" I tried to see if it was a universal problem through out my computer but everything else extracts perfectly so its just this .exe that cant run it.I was wondering if someone could help me give it access please! It would be awesome and swaggity, thanks!!

setup unable to create directory

I am trying to install a program and when i open the installer everything is fine until it begins to download and then i get "Setup was unable to create the directory "C:\ProgramData\Arturia\ArturiaSoftware Center" Error 3: The system cannot find the path
specified"

Last night i was moving a lot of files around because one of my drives were full so i tried changing the download directory to my d drive and that was fine but even after changing it back i cannot download the program. I don't know how to revert or do something
so that i can install this program.

 

I want to move "Program Files"

That should allow for your 2nd requirement of:

& doing that?

The reskit tool below can do for you @ a folders/directories capacity level emulating symbolic/softlinks which UNIX & its derivants have as best Windows NT-based OS' can using reparse points & junctions to do so in NTFS filesystems.

P.S.=> Again, for your reference, I think this will do it for you:

==============

linkd: Create a Link

Windows 2000 introduces a new filesystem construct known as reparse points in its new version of NTFS. These entities are somewhat similar to Unix symbolic links, although they operate only on directories (folders) and not on individual files. The linkd command may be used to create such a link to a folder or drive, taking the link name and then the target directory as its arguments.

For example, the following command creates C:\RK as a link to C:\Program Files\Resource Kit:

C:\> linkd c:\rk "c:\program files\resource kit"

RK looks like this in directory listings:

Volume in drive C is System Volume Serial Number is 40F8-C78D

Directory of C:\

04/09/2001 04:10p <DIR> Documents and Settings
04/09/2001 04:18p <DIR> Program Files
04/12/2001 09:48a <JUNCTION> RK
04/11/2001 04:10p <DIR> temp
04/11/2001 03:34p <DIR> WINNT
0 File(s) 0 bytes
5 Dir(s) 1,459,015,680 bytes free

(A junction is the name given to a reparse point linking to a subdirectory.)

Be aware that you must use the delrp command to remove a reparse point and not the normal del command (which is interpreted as applying to the target in most contexts)
