Problem:

When installing Trillium, you get the error:

Error: Could not create file

Solution:

You see the error because you do not have write permissions to the working directory when running the setup program.

During Trillium install, the installer needs to unpack some temporary files, and does so to the current directory. If you cannot write to that directory, you receive the error.

To workaround the problem, assign yourself read/write permissions. You can, for example make yourself a member of the Trillium application administrator group so you have all the administrator privilege before installing Trillium.
