Advanced INF installer error

Hi godsdragon,

Incorrect registry permissions if any, would result in the error INF Install Failure. Reason: Access is denied.

Step1: Try to re-register the Windows Installer Service and then run the product again by following this step:

1.     On the "Start" menu, click "Run:.

2. In the "Open" box, type "msiexec /unreg", and then press ENTER. 

3. On the "Start" menu, click "Run". 

4. In the "Open" box, type "msiexec /regserver", and then press ENTER.

Step 2: Locate the .inf file

Locate the .inf file that is included with the driver installation program. Generally, the .inf file is located in one of the following folders on the driver installation media:

• In the same folder as the Setup program.
• In a subfolder that is in the folder that contains the Setup program.

If the driver files are packaged in a single executable file, you may be able to extract them or otherwise access them.

Grant the permission to the file and check.

Printer permissions determine which printer properties you can manage, such as renaming or sharing a printer, allowing or removing access to the printer, and determining who can manage documents or properties for the printer. Printer permissions are typically managed by the person who installed the printer or, if the printer is connected to a business or enterprise network, by a system administrator.
