Problem

When attempting to install Bentley Hydraulic and Hydrology software, the following error appears:

"Error writing to file...Verify that you have access to that directory."

Solution 1

Verify you have permission to write to the directory listed in the error dialog.

An easy way to check this:

1. Navigate to the directory.
2. Right-click and select New then select Text Document.
3. If you can save the text file without error then you should have permission to write to the directory.

Solution 2

Disable anti-virus software while installing the hydraulic and hydrology software. If necessary, request permission from your IT department before doing this. For assistance with disabling anti-virus software contact the company that created it.
