Update 17 "Access could not be gained" (Fixed!)

[rainbrowz]

I get stuck after restarting with this message:
"...write access could not be gained to the game files. Try running update.exe as administrator."
I tried running both the game and update.exe as administrator but it gives me the exact same thing no matter what.

I fixed it myself.

Go into the 'Program Files' folder in the C drive( Go to 'Computer', then 'C:', then 'Program Files' ):
-right click the 'Maxis' folder
-click 'Properties', click the 'Sharing' tab
-click 'Advanced Sharing...'
-check the box next to 'Share this folder'
-click 'Permissions'
-highlight 'Everyone'
-check the box next to 'Full Control' under the 'Allow' section
-click 'ok', click 'ok' again, and then click 'close'.
You're done!

It should be able to update properly after that.
