Asked by:
Unable to install Visual Studio because of inability to write to folder WPF

Question
-
Besides my personal gmail account for Windows, I have another organization account (University account). I was using my gmail.com private account for my windows 10 and installed Visual Studio 2019 to install C++ desktop development, but failed with a dialogue saying I could not have permission to write to folder "...WPR...". The dialogue also show my organization account. It seems I am stuck to my university for the account which I had no write permission. In another previous pc, I had successfully installed VS (sevveral years before). I don't know what is the problem. So, please help!

The worst kind of errors are those that occur during the installation process. Even if you haven't installed the application, you are still getting errors. Many people have complained about the error opening file for writing, which occurs when they try to install particular software.

Try this steps given below-
Close the Visual Studio Installer
Delete the Visual Studio Installer directory. Typically, the directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer.
Run the Visual Studio Installer bootstrapper. You may find the bootstrapper in your Downloads folder with a file name that follows a vs_[Visual Studio edition]__*.exe 4. pattern. If you don't find that application, you can download the bootstrapper by going to the Visual Studio downloads page and clicking Download for your edition of Visual Studio. Run the executable to reset your installation metadata.
Try to install or update Visual Studio again.Regards,
Ross Smith
