Do not ask to know all the answers, but ask to understand the question.

I am having trouble installing this version.  Its telling me "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access them"

I have installed all other versions on this computer with no problems.

Any ideas?

Thanks Sean,

I tried this as well. Still the same.
I also completely uninstalled xlights and tried a clean install and still the same message.
I am however able to install 3.6.12 with no problems.

Windows OS 8.1

I guess I can wait for the next release and see if that helps.

I am also running win 8.1 64 bit. and have tried downloading several times.  Maybe it is my work filter corrupting the file?

Try booting in safe mode and install it. I wonder what is blocking it. I have installed on two laptops two desktops. Two of them Windows 7, two of them Windows 8.1. No issue. Must be something in your environment. I just don't know It is.

Thanks Sean. Don't know why I didn't think of installing in SAFE mode. Worked fine from there, however it did remove the xLights icon for some reason. Who knows!  It's working, and that is what I needed.

Ryan

Well, it was working. I guess the problem was my antivirus. It detected xLights as a trojan and deleted it  :o
