I’m facing the same probleme when I trying to run this command
curl https://release.solana.com/v1.8.0/solana-install-init-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.exe --output C:\solana-install-tmp\solana-install-init.exe --create-dirs
on cmd or powershell as administrator.
It gives me this error msg, 0Warning: Failed to create the file
Warning: C:\solana-install-tmp\solana-install-init.exe: Permission denied
I tried to use @Zaryab solution but it didn’t work.
Please if anyone can help?
Thank you in advance.
Hey mouzero,
I fixed this a while ago but forgot to update the forum!
When I experienced the issue there was no windows version out yet for v1.7.14,
Mainnet - v1.6.27 looked like the latest stable release. So I replaced all instances in the install code where it said 1.7.14 with 1.6.27
try
https://release.solana.com/v1.6.27/solana-install-init-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.exe
If you a running windows you may have to do the same. The current installation docs have incorrect instructions for windows, and you can always check what the latest release for Windows is by looking in the GitHub repo.
