Error 1315. Unable to write to the specified folder

Can't uninstall Apache

[blue8sky]

Hi.
I have installed Apache2.0.5.9 into my Windows XP SP1(sorry, but I learnt it had to be SP2 to late). I installed Apache not as a windows service. When I try to uninstall Apache I get the following message from Apache installer: "Error 1315. Unable to write to the specified folder Z:\usr\local\apache2\conf." and the uninstalling process overs.
Help )

And is it possible to install another Apache(1.3 for example) having Apache2.0.5.9 installed?

Create that entire missing folder path if it's missing, and then remove the read-only setting of every level of that path if it is set.

Don't install another Apache version until you get the old one completely cleaned out.

I solved the problem.
Z: was a virtual drive. So I just turned it off.
