I have been trying for over a week to install Gimp 2.8.20 I have successfully ran previous versions of Gimp for a year or more I'm running windows pro 7
I constantly install software with no problems, most recently Inkscape from your site
There is no reason I know of for an "access denied" flag... denied to my C drive? denied to what???
The flag pops up just as the installation is about done - - frustrating!!!

Um... Inkscape from gimp.org?

Your report is the only one of this problem I know about, so it is likely some localized issue.

You can use a tool like Process Monitor to try to see what the installer is being denied access to:

There are various filter options, setting this to only include anything with "gimp" in the process or file names should help to limit the amount of data to process.

Michael
