Holster 3.321 would not install in Vista

[OneEskalera]

Hello!!! I just recently got an upgrade version to my Holster. From 3.315 to 3.321. Before installing this 3.321 on my Laptop with Vista Home Premium, I moved my playlist to C:\MTU\Holster\Playlist folder and leave my Kma song files on my external drive. Then I started the setup and went smoothly untill it reached the installation window (after clicking install button window). It runs for awhile about 1/3 blue progress bar, then there this error window appear and says: Feature Tranfer Error, Feature: Holster, Component: App Executables, File - , Error: Acess Denied and after clicking OK button, installation window disappeared and installation stop. Tried several times without success and stopping at the same point. With the same error message. Please help... I tried to look for an answer in the discussion forum but did find any related problem. I guess Holster cannot be upgraded under Vista as the warning says on the the "instruction to ugrade holster 3.321 under window vista. Note: Had UAC disabled during the setup process

Another question, Does my computer need to be connected to internet to do the upgrade from Holster 3.315 to 3.321 on XP Home edition?

I found this on another forum for a program people were having the same problem.

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop

I made a mental note of it but it seemed unlikely that I'd be having the exact same problem. Later, I ran Filemon while the installation program hit its error. While reviewing the log, I noticed:

---------------
9302 8:00:07 PM set4D.tmp:3468 QUERY INFORMATION C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop NOT FOUND Attributes: Error
---------------

I went to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users and sure enough, there was no folder called Desktop. So, with no confidence whatsoever that it would solve my problem, I created one.

I ran the installation again and VOILA! It worked! I can't believe the whole installation program shuts down just because it can't find that silly folder.

The short answer (hopefully) is to check C:\Documents and Settings\All Users and see if you have a folder called Desktop and create if not. If this isn't it there may be other possible solutions if you Yahoo the message (leave out "Hoster").

As to the other question: 3.317 and beyond requires being online to upgrade or install.

Hope this helps

Sam, that doesn't make sense. If the common Desktop isn't under All Users in Vista, then where the heck would they hide it? It isn't even considered to be a System Folder so it isn't hidden. I love Microsoft....it is so much fun!!

This was a fix that worked for a number of people on another forum.

On another forum there was a similiar fix but in that case the desktop folder existed but permissions were inadequate to add an icon. Even having administrator rights was not a garentee they had permissions. This makes some sense since the error message specificly refers to "access denied" which is what you get when you try to get into a folder your not supposed to.
Evrything I came accross was XP so maybe Vista is something totally different.

Just trying to make an educated guess (without the education )

You may want to get the L out of Hoster, when you type it in.
