Ensure that the location specified below is correct, or change it and insert 'WMAudio Install' in the drive you specify.

INF Install failure. Reason: Access is denied.

WORKAROUND
On the computer that you are installing the Audio redistribution package, log on with an account that has administrative privileges.
