Error Installing Oracle Database Client 12c

Question

Getting this error While installing Oracle Database Client 12c Release 1

Error in writing to file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools\\..\..\Xml\Schemas\Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client.Configuration.Section.xsd'. [C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools\..\..\Xml\Schemas\Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client.Configuration.Section.xsd (Access is denied)]

Any fix for this ?

Answer 1

I had the same problem here. Even after running as administrator, I still had to locate the file, in my case at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Xml\Schemas" open properties window and uncheck read only (remember to aply the configuration to the subfolders and files). Hope it helps.
