insufficient privileges to access this directory: <Directory>. The
installation cannot continue. Log on as administrator or contact your system
administrator.
where <Directory> is the name of the directory

To prevent this error from occurring, make sure the folder
location into which you are installing Office has Full Control permissions for
either the Everyone group or the SYSTEM group. Check the permissions for the
parent folders because the permissions on these folders may also cause this
