  • It looks like the existing SQL service account, or the account that is doing the installation, does not have enough rights to the files and folders.

    Also, run the administrator as Administrator

  • Thanks for your response Michael L John !!

    But, I am running as a admin account even assigned same account across all folder and files. It didn't help us 🙁

    Is there any other possible way to avoid this error?

    Cheers,

    Karthik.

  • did you right click on setup.exe and select 'run as administrator' ?

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Yes off-course, also made setup.exe always 'run as administrator' under security tab of setup properties.

    Cheers,

    Karhtik.
