Error 10 - On Install

To handle the error 10, do these steps:

1. From Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs and remove Diskeeper. Then make sure the Execsoft folder and all of its sub-folders are deleted.
2. Make sure the Temp directory located under your root directory has nothing in it.
3. Check the permissions in REGEDT32 and on the root directory of each NTFS partition; Administrator and System must have Full Control. See the Technical Article Permissions for instructions on handling this.
4. The account from which you install and run Diskeeper must be a member of the Administrators group, but not a member of any other local groups such as Power Users, Backup Operators, and so on. It does not matter if the account is a member of any Domain groups such as Domain Admins and Domain Users. If you make a change to the group membership of your account, log out and back in before installing Diskeeper.
5. Check if you have a bad CD drive (if so, it is usually because it's dirty).
6. Re-install Diskeeper.
