I'm trying to install some income tax software to a Samba (Debian 3.2.5
i386) share and I'm getting the above error. I've tried resolving it
through the Windows knowledge base, which suggested it was the Windows
Installer running as a local system account but even granting guest
access to the directory and granting everyone rwx rights didn't help.
They also suggested un-registering then re-registering the installer.
Again no luck.
I notice that the installer does create a zero-length with the correct
ownership (<installer>:users) and full rwx rights to everyone, but it
still complains. Confusingly, this is only one of multiple files that it
installs. There are a reasonable number of other files that it puts in
place correctly.
This is happening when I run the installer from both XP/Pro machines
I've tried it on.
I can't find anything in the logs with syslog = 10. log.nmbd has no
entries since Feb. 22, log.smbd just shows normal connections.
log.<computername> again shows nothing that looks unusual.
Any ideas?
