Article #27924: Internal Error 2381, "Directory Does not Exist"

QUESTION:      When I am installing Delphi 6 I get an Internal Error that the directory doesn't exist and then the installation fails. How can I install Delphi 6? ANSWER:      This error is thrown by MSI when it can't find a directory. Typically this is due to permission problem that the user doesn't have. To ensure that you have the necessary permissions on your drive(s), please try the following: 1) In Windows Explorer, select the folder. 2) Right-click the folder and click Properties on the shortcut menu. 3) On the Security tab, click Permissions. 4) Select the Everyone group and click Full Control in the Type of Access list. 5) Check the Replace Permissions on Subdirectories check box. 6) Click OK. 7) Click Yes to the prompt confirming whether you want to replace permissions on all subdirectories. 8) Run Delphi Installer.
