Please follow the troubleshooting steps below.
(1) Run the installer as Administrator
This error is often due to insufficient UAC (user access control) privileges. If this is the case, running the installer as Administrator will resolve the error since the admin has higher UAC privileges.
- Right-click on the installer EXE file.
- From the menu that pops up, select "Run as Administrator". A Yes/No prompt dialog box will appear.
- Click the "Yes" button in the dialog, and allow the installation to run to completion.
(2) Find out whether the file needs to be unblocked
- Right click on the installer EXE file. A dialog box will pop up.
- Inspect the dialog box to see whether it contains a security option to unblock the file, as shown below.
If it does contain an "Unblock" checkbox, select the box for all files (e.g. CsOdbcInstall70_x64.exe, composite70_x64.dll, and composite70_x64.txt). Note that the unblock has to be done for all the files, and not just for the installer executable file.
- Run the installer.
(3) Run the installer in Compatibility mode
The error could be due to a compatibility problem. To check whether this is the case:
- Right click on the installer EXE file.
- Use the "Troubleshoot Compatibility" option shown below to test the installer.
