At the risk of asking an obvious question, what are the contents of
that logfile?

Since most of us can't read Chinese, it would have been a good idea to
provide a translation.

According to machine translation, what this says is

'Cacls' is not an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

This seems more a problem with your Windows installation than anything.
Maybe you have messed up the PATH variable.

Seems this is XP embedded? Does it even come with cacls?

Ah, you need to install an optional component

Thanks Alvaro!
There are so many optional components are in the POSReady 2009 installation
media.
But which one should we install?

Dear Hagander,
You are right!  I can not find the 'CALCS' command-line utility in the POS
Ready 2009.

Hi Alvaro,

Thanks, I got it!  The 'CACLS' command-line utilities is an optional
component.  But, I do not know why this tool was not included in the default
install list for XP Embedded POS Ready 2009?

So that means the PG installer should detect if 'CACLS' is exist and warn
the user?
