Title
Error, "Error 1310 Error writing to file" during installation -
Description
During installation I receive the following error:
Error 1310 Error writing to file:
C:\WINDOWS\winsxs\Policies\x86_policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_x-ww_77c24773\8.0.50727.805.policy.
Verify that you have access to that directory. -
Cause
This behavior can occur when you install Microsoft Project 2000 or Microsoft Office 2000 by means of a Microsoft Terminal Server session in which the system account does not have full permissions to all the necessary files and folders on the server. This behavior can also occur when the Windows Installer becomes unregistered during the installation process.

Resolution
RESOLUTION 1:
1. Install the product by logging on directly to the server that contains the installation files, rather than by using a Terminal Server session. (Log on locally to the Terminal Server console.)
2. Make sure that the System account has permissions to all the necessary folders on the server.NOTE: During the installation process, Windows Installer uses the System account to access all the necessary files and folders.
RESOLUTION 2:Unregister and reregister Windows Installer. To do this, follow these steps:1. Click Start | Run.
2. In the Open box, type msiexec /unreg, and then press ENTER.
3. Click Start | Run.
4. In the Open box, type msiexec /regserver, and then press ENTER.RESOLUTION 3:Have your IT people or Network Administrtators or Helpdesk (with Admini Rights) install Toad for you.
