Issue when running POT in OpenVINO R2021 in Windows 10

[DarkHorse]

Hello Expert,

I am trying run setup.py install command in OpenVINO R2021 in Windows 10 with the following commands:

C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\openvino_2021\deployment_tools\tools\post_training_optimization_toolkit>python setup.py install
running install
running bdist_egg
running egg_info
creating pot.egg-info
error: could not create 'pot.egg-info': Access is denied

Do let me know if you guys seen this issue before?

Thanks.

Hello Guys,

I managed to find out the issue, we need to run the command prompt as administrator.

I have successfully run this python setup.py install command.

Thanks.

Hi DarkHorse,

Thanks for sharing your solution.

I encountered the same error did as you when I run the command python setup.py install without "Administrator".

However, when I run the command as "Administrator", the command was executed successfully.

This thread will no longer be monitored since this issue has been resolved. 

If you need any additional information from Intel, please submit a new question.

Best regards,

Wan
