I am attempting to install Access 2003 on my 32 bit Windows 7 Professional N laptop.  I had Office Professional Plus 2010 installed when I first started this process.  While installing from a mounted ISO, I receive the following error from the Windows intaller:


Microsoft Office Access 2003 Setup
 
Error 1326.  Error getting file security: C:\Users\Paul Miller\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OFFICE\ GetLastError: 5.
 
A search for this error did not turn up anything helpful.  I have my laptop partioned so that my data is stored on D:\.  I had attempted to install the program to the D drive when the C drive install failed.  When that did not resolve the problem, I then took ownership of all files in the C:\Users\Paul Miller\AppData folder and subfolders, but that also did not resolve the problem.

I have since completely uninstalled Office Professional Plus 2010 and Visio 2010 and the install still fails.  I ran chkdsk and all tools at Tweakwindows.com, still no luck.  I have also attempted installation from a CD instead of a mounted ISO, nothing.

Any suggestions?  This is driving me crazy!

Have you tried the Windows Installer Clean-up Utility http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651 ?

Thanks Remou.  I just tried that and the utility did not detect any problems to repair.  There is a FixIt at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 that I also ran on the suggestion of a Microsoft troubleshooter, but no luck.

I saw a suggestion for this error where someone was attempting to install Outlook 2003, but it might be relevant http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/officeversion_other-office_install/install-outlook-2003-on-windows-7-pc/13753dee-ab52-4b3a-a763-c425050d679f

After that, it is probably worth contacting Microsoft, they can be quite helpful :)

Thanks Remou.  The fellow over at Microsoft was indeed able to assist.  For anyone else that has this problem, following are the other steps I tookk:  

1)  Right-clicked setup.exe and ran as administrator.  No luck.
2)  Logged out of my account and, although that account was an admin, I logged in to the built-in Administrator account.  I was able to install Access 2003 successfully.  I then installed Office 2010 Professional Plus, opting to keep Access 2003 installed, and that was also successful.
3)  I logged out of the Administrator account and back in to my personal account.  I opened Access 2003 successfully.  I closed A2003 and opened A2010.  I ran into a file security error, so I Took Ownership of C:\Users\Paul Miller.

After that, everything went perfectly.  Thanks!
