I tried to install Warcraft: Orcs and Humans and I get the message: Installation Failed: Disk Access Problem

My system is Win7 and wanted to install with GOG Galaxy 1.2.54.

Any ideas what I could do? I don't know if it's a DOSBOX-Problem or something with the game itself.

Usually it results from antivirus softwares.

Thank you very much. I disabled the antivirus software and the game is installed now. :)

I have win 10 and am getting the same error. Only using win defender, not sure that it would prohibit the installation. Any others having this issue?

I uninstalled my GOG Galaxy client and deleted the folders that remained at the installation location.
I then redownloaded and installed the Galaxy Client. Downloaded and installed both Warcraft 1 and 2 without issues.
For me i think it was a permission issue with the install folders

I also had this problem.

Other games (including Warcraft 2) installed perfectly fine, and I was running Win 10 with only built-in antivirus.

Running Galaxy as an administrator didn't fix the issue.

Deleting installation and reattempting also didn't fix the issue.

Changing the installation location (from G:\ to C:\) did fix it.

Possibly because warcraft 1 is too old to understand drive locations as far as G, possibly just because I changed the installation location.

DosBox - virtual DOS machine. Not matter what specs and how many drives you have.

Thank you that did the fix - Changing the installation location (from G:\ to C:\) did fix it.
