Destination Folder Access Denied HELP!!!

[Rare]

A small edit to the main post:

So my current situation is, even when I use the installer, the Skse .dll files have insufficient permissions to be placed in the main Skyrim folder.

I tried the "take ownership" way of doing things, yet it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

Just use the installer it makes your life a lot easier ont worryabout warnings iv been doing this for ages ;)

Best not let 'everyone' access, read write etc. Take ownership of your Skyrim folder,and sub-folders, then Add yourself and grant full permissions. Even better, never install games on C:\

Sorry for late reply, when I use installer, it says "error opening file for writing" what do?

I did, I gave my user every single permission, I apply administrator permission. Then it rpeeats "you need permission to open this file" etc.

You need to also take ownership - I took ownership of my complete C:\ D:\ and E:\ (partition) drives :-)

I'll use the Take Ownership app thingy then, thanks! :)

If it works, I'll edit this post.

So it didn't work, still has insufficient permissions no matter what I do. *clicks tongue*

First, you should never take ownership of the C: drive, it will mess your entire OS, big time. Google "take ownership of c drive". You will learn that it is never owned by Admin, or User, in fact the ownership should remain default: "TrustedInstaller", when we OEM a system or "System" with retail.

You opened a can of worms, Lucy. An OS re-install, (low-level format is always a good idea on wonky consumer grade hard drives to re-map.. manufacturer's s/w to return drive to "factory condition" is best practice before a re-install) is in your future.

I didn't take ownership of the whole drive, just half the files in it. Either way, you aren't helping much, have you got any information on how to fix the main problem or?

An OS re-install is in your future.

Gee thanks buddy



I don't think taking ownership of files in a drive is harming anything, either way, it still has the option to take ownership for files I already used it on.

So it probably didn't work anyways, happy days, now I don't have to worry about your doomsaying.

Sorry, buddy. You posted "it didn't work". Stupid *&^& I am I assumed the "fix" didn't work. I did not Karnack that you did not actually take ownership of drive c: YOU TRIED.

Sooo, waste someone else's time. This tech is outta here. BTW, you "tried" to take ownership of the c: drive without Googling it? Bye.
