I tried to upgrade the smartware to 1.6.4. but the upgrader keeps displaying “The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file: C:\programdata\western digital\wd smartware upgrader\smartwarepatch.dll”. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Thanks.
If the drive is working OK I wouldn’t bother with the update. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it! Make sure your Adobe Flash and MS netframework 3.5 are both up to date. Also make sure your AV is off.
