Feature Transfer Error "Access is denied"

Problem

When installing Prophet, you get a File Error that "Access is denied".  This is usually only with a new PC where Prophet has never been installed.

Please verify the path matches your Windows login, C:\Users\Your Windows Login\Documents...  You can do that by entering %homepath% in File Explorer or Windows Start/Search.

E.g. mine is Anoth(short for AnotherCat ?)

If the path doesn't match, then Prophet was at some point installed for another user.

If the path does match, the problem could be caused by your Virus Checker.

Solution

Most Virus Checkers don't interfere with Prophet's installation, but we've sometimes needed to temporarily disable them.  E.g.:

Avast

K7 Total Security

Please contact your IT if you're unsure how to disable your virus checker, or don't have permissions.

Once Prophet installation is completed, you can re-enable the Virus Checker.
