Windows 7, trying to install Audacity 2.0.3.exe file and I got the following message:
IPersistFile:: Save Failed; code 0x80070005 Access is denied.
Audacity icon is installed on the desktop but it will not open. trying to Run as Administrator same thing.
Ideas and suggestions are welcome.
Thank you…
This usually suggests there is a file still in use at that memory area, and you are not allowed to overwrite it. You must install Audacity as an administrator and it is possible now that you may need to reboot the computer before you can try again to install as administrator.
If the problem persists, download again from http://audacityteam.org/download/windows and save the file to your computer (don’t run it without downloading it because this may be blocked by security programs on some computers). See http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_installation_and_plug_ins.html#exe .
If the problem persists, download the zip of Audacity from the same address, which you do not need to install, but also scan your computer for viruses which may be causing this problem.
