When trying to install Sitecore 9.3 using the new Sitecore Install Assistant, SOLR fails to install with the following error:

[------------------------ DownloadSolr : DownloadFile ------------------------]
[DownloadSolr]:[Download] http://archive.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/8.1.1/solr-8.1.1.zip => C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp\solr.zip

[-------------------------- UnpackSolr : ExpandArchive -----------------------]

[---------------------------- MoveSolr : MoveItem ----------------------------]
Access to the path 'C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp\solr-8.1.1\contrib' is denied.

I'm running the installer as an admin but that seems to make no difference.

  • Can you try specifying the Install Path to some other drive other than C drive? Jun 16, 2020 at 7:16

Try specifying the value of the Install Path to some other drive other than C drive in the Install Solr step while running the Sitecore Installation Assistant.

Some paths in C Drive may cause permission issues unless you have granted access in the folder's properties in file explorer.

Looking at Solr-SingleDeveloper.json. There is a parameter named TempLocation:

"TempLocation": {
        "Type": "String",
        "Description": "Alternative location to save downloads. If left on the default $Env:Temp will be used.",
        "DefaultValue": "SIF-Default",
        "Validate": "[TestPath(variable('Temp.Location'))]"
    }

If you open a PowerShell console and type $Env:Temp I'm sure you'll see the same path you listed in your question.

This parameter begins in XP0-SingleDeveloper.json named PackagesTempLocation. You should be able to add a new parameter in XP0-SingleDeveloper.ps1 to target this:

XP0-SingleDeveloper.ps1

# Install XP0 via combined partials file.
$singleDeveloperParams = @{
  Path = "$SCInstallRoot\XP0-SingleDeveloper.json"
  SqlServer = $SqlServer
  ...
  AllowedCorsOrigins = $AllowedCorsOrigins
  SitePhysicalRoot = $SitePhysicalRoot
  PackagesTempLocation = "C:\Your\New\Location"
}

I was also facing the same issue. Please run the same Sitecore setup after deleting these 2 folders - C:\Users\[yourusername]\AppData\Local\Temp\solr-8.1.1 and C:\Solr.

Note :- Folder-"AppData" is hidden by default in Windows File Explorer.

Thanks, Kalpesh

access to path denied

I had to change the templocation like jrap suggested but I did it on D drive because I tried like in the image below on C drive and still I had the same issue. After creating the same folder on D drive also gave permission to the folder from the Security tab as full control for the user I logged on to the machine and Everyone it worked.
