Problem Installing Data Acquisition Toolbox for ADALM1000

1 view (last 30 days)
Hello, I'm trying to install this toolbox but it goes:
Warning: Unable to save path to "C:\Program Files (x86)\MATLAB\R2015b\toolbox\local\pathdef.m".
MATLAB may not have write access to the folder. Possible fix:
1) Use SAVEPATH with an input argument to save path to a temporary file
2) Restart MATLAB as Administrator
3) Load path from temporary file
4) Call SAVEPATH
> In hwconnectinstaller.RegistryUtils.savePath
In hwconnectinstaller.PackageInstaller/install
In hwconnectinstaller.PackageInstaller/installRecursiveImp
In hwconnectinstaller.PackageInstaller/installRecursive
In hwconnectinstaller.internal.executeConfirm>installFromFolder
In hwconnectinstaller.internal.executeConfirm>performThreadedDownload
In hwconnectinstaller.internal.executeConfirm>installFromInternet
In hwconnectinstaller.internal.executeConfirm>installWorkflow
In hwconnectinstaller.internal.executeConfirm
In hwconnectinstaller.Step/next
What's more the toolbox is not installed in my C:\Program Files (x86)\MATLAB\R2015b\toolbox but a folder is created directly in my C:\ named C:\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2015b
What should I do? Thanks.

... Did you try taking the series of steps listed above?
Starting at some point in Windows Vista, Windows made the directories under C:\Program Files (x86) unwritable to regular users, as a security measure to prevent programs from maliciously overwriting parts of other programs. You need to be running as Administrator to write to files under that directory.
