    Error : "Unable to create dir c: " while installation

    I am trying to install a vb6 application. Everytime i start installing it, it shows an error

    "There was an unexpected problem trying to create or write to logfile "c:\windows\st6unst.000". Error number is 7"

    After I click on OK. It resumes installation and after a while gives the error :

    "An unexpected setup error has occured"

    and asks to quit the installation

    The logfile created by the setup shows the foll:
    " Unable to create directory C:"

    Please help me with this!!

    Thanks

    (Thanks for the heads up dee-u )

    I would suggest you look at your installation package (what are you using?).

    If you are trying to create a folder called C: , then you are going to get an error.

    That folder already exists...it is the root of your C: drive.
