Re: EPICS base-3.14.12.5 installation error

["Johnson, Andrew N." <anj@aps.anl.gov>]

Hi Alex,

I've seen issues like that on Windows before, check the file permissions on the installed files and on the various directories above it. That seems to be a common cause of this kind of thing, for which you might have to add some permission to the top level directory to have the build work properly.

HTH,
