I can't seem to set up Hugin - start the installation and keep getting the message "Installation directory must be on local hard drive" I'm running windows 8 - have also tried on another computer running windows 7 - both 64 bit how do I overcome this? thanks in advance

Have you tried installing on your local disk?

It works on windows 7 64bit 




Open windows Exlporer

1. Locate the Hugin-2017.0-win64.msi installer file that you downloaded.

2. While holding down the Shift key on the keyboard, right-click on the Hugin-2017.0-win64 .msi, then choose Copy As Path.

3. Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories.

4. Right-click on Command Prompt and choose Run As Administrator. This should open a command prompt window, labeled "Administrator:".

5. In the Command Prompt window, type msiexec /i 

6. Right-click in the Command Prompt window, then choose Paste. This should paste the path to the MSI file that you copied in Step 2 above.

7.Press Enter to run the command. 


Or the direct way

Force the installer to run with administrator privileges.

Cmd / right click “execute As Administrator“
or Cmd /Ctrl +Shift Enter

in Cmd Box type:
Msiexec /i C:\Users\“Name“\Downloads\Hugin-2017.0-win32.msi 
Press enter
