  Need some help here. I keep getting the following error while trying to install SQL 2008 Enterprise Management tools x64 on Server 2008 Enterprise edition::

  The following error has occurred:

  Error 1310.Error writing to file: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Serverdocument.v9.0.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory.

  Click 'Retry' to retry the failed action, or click 'Cancel' to cancel this action and continue setup.

  I tried disabling UAC, I tried running under different compatibility modes, I tried installing from the DVD, copied the files to my desktop and tried running from there and still nothing. I was able to successfully install the other services as shown in the screen shot.

  I should also mention that this is a VMWare box, brand new nothing else on it except the prerequisite files needed for SQL. Oh and I am a local admin on the box. Does anyone know whats wrong here???
