Windows Installer Error 1326

Error getting file security: [3] GetLastError: [2]

This is most often seen as a result of insufficient permissions to perform an installation.

If you cannot see the path to the file in question, turn on Windows Installer logging and repeat the operation to generate a detailed log file (written to %temp%). When you have identified the path of the file in the error (3) ensure that is the location of the file on your system. If you find it in a different location, copy the file to the location where Windows Installer is attempting to locate it.

Verify that the account you are using to perform the installation as well as the SYSTEM account have at least "change" access to the location.
