Title: Trouble Installing Exodus on Windows 7 PC
Post by: pb14mph on December 06, 2017, 06:24:07 PM
Hi everyone. I decided on downloading Exodus to hold a few coins as I prefer a software-based wallet at this point in time. When I downloaded the .exe file and ran it, I encountered an error saying "Installation has failed: Unable to write to C:\ProgramData - IT policies may be restricting access to this folder" ... I haven't had any problems installing other programs, or other wallets for that matter such as Electrum. I checked my administrator settings and everything seems good on that end, so I'm not sure what could be causing this error all of a sudden. Has anyone else experienced this with Exodus, or with any other program for that matter? How would I go about getting the error fixed so I can install Exodus? I don't want to have to settle for another wallet just because the one I chose wouldn't work. Thanks in advance!

Edit: I do have a 64-bit Windows PC, so the issue isn't that.
