Hello xantares,
--- quote ---
you're right d: was mounted to an external drive mounted as noexec, the bug is
invalid, but why ? windowscodecs should be installed to c:
--- quote ---
Please read what I wrote earlier:
--- quote ---
The installer uses the first writable drive letter being of 'harddisk' type
with enough space *after* drive 'c:' to place intermediate files.
This includes mapping of temporary dlls which requires 'exec' permissions.
--- quote ---
Intermediate/temporary installation files are not final installation targets -
they can be located anywhere during installation.
The main dlls end up in your 'c:\\windows\\system32' folder, where they belong.
Regards
