Acces Denied,

 

With installing a new expansion/accessoire or at updating you get the following faultcode: ACCES DENIED!

This fault is caused by an Anti-virus program that's on your pc, like Norton, Bullguard or Norman.
The .exe file S3Launcher.exe is being changed when installing a new expansion or accessoire, for an Anti-virus program this can be seen as an "attack of a virus"

In this case you need to turn off you anti virus program for a moment. You will find it on the taksbar on the right (right next to the time and date). Right-click on it and see if you can turn it off or you can set it.

Some programs can't be turned off , like Bullguard.
In that case do this:

  • Press the Windowskey and type R (don't have a windowskey? go to Start -> Export?
  • Type: msconfig and press Ok
  • Look for the tab Start(up), and look for the name of your Anti-virus program and deselect it
  • Look for tab Services, select all Microsoft services "hide" on
  • Look again for your anti-virus program and deselect it
  • Press Apply and Ok
  • Restart your pc
  • You will get a message that you changed the startup file, click yes or ok

Now your pc is start up without anti-virus program!
