Access Denied Error (0x5) while installing FONT (.ttf) files

Hi,

I am trying to install Times New Roman fonts through installer and it is giving me Access Denied error while installation. The directory has write access and I am also running the installer as an Administrator.

I want to know whether we can install fonts to Windows directory? I am able to do that by manual copy paste.

Are there any special privileges required for accessing FONTS directory?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks & regards,

Hi Pratik,

Could you tell me the steps of installing font?

First of all, I suggest you install another font and check if it works fine. If it works fine with another font, please change the installation source of Times New Roman.

And you can also refer to these steps of installing fonts and check if it works for you:

Hope it's helpful.
