    Do you have the right privs on such a directory?

  • Yes, I have administrator access.

    I was able to install the default SQL Server instance.

    While I try to install another named instance, it is throwing this error.

  • What folder are you choosing? It shouldn't be the same one as the default instance.

    As noted, this is a simple rights issue. Administrator doesn't necessarily have rights to every folder. They can take and assign themselves rights, but they don't have access necessarily.

  • Thanks Steve, it is my mistake.

    I went to the right folder and now I installed 2 more named instances.
