Insufficient privileges when updating help files in Visual Studio 2012

I have Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate and I've downloaded the Visual Studio 2012 ISO from MSDN. When trying to install the documentation:

I open Visual Studio as an Administrator

Visual Studio Open As Admin

Follow these instructions as per the install's ReadMe file

On the menu bar for Visual Studio 2012, choose Help, Add and Remove Help Content.

Help Viewer 2.0 starts, showing the Manage Content tab. On the Manage Content tab, choose the Disk option button, choose the Browse (…) button, and then navigate to the DVD drive.

Choose the helpcontentsetup.msha file, and then choose the Open button.

Under Available Documentation, the list of available content sets from the DVD appears.

Choose the Add link next to the content set that you want to install onto your local computer. The items that you specify appear in the Pending Changes column. You can remove an item from the Pending Changes column by choosing the “X” next to the item. Choose the Update button.

Update Ready

And click Update.

When I click Update, it progresses for about 3-4 seconds, and then it fails with an error:

The following errors occurred while performing the requested tasks:

An error occurred while updating content. You have insufficient privileges to complete this task.

How can I resolve this issue?

I'm running Help Viewer in Admin mode.

try this. It solved my problem.

  1. change security permission of vs2012doc.iso to full control for your account.
  2. Mount it
  3. Install the documentation ONE BY ONE. Remember ONE BY ONE.

Might it help...
