I installed Windows 7 this morning, then installed VC++ 2008 Express again. Now I want to install a dependency walker in its installation folder. But suprise suprise, the folder is marked read-only. Using Windows Explorer to change permissions does nothing. Yes, my account is set up as Administrator (already checked that). I recall a similar problem years ago with XP but don't recall how to fix the problem.

I finally found the solution -- I just had to change the ownership from SYSTEM to myself (Administrator).
