It looks like you should change the rights on the so called child process. Maybe you do not have the right to use it, this kind of things happened to me, afer i installed using sudo.

hmmm, maybe you could post the whole error? instead of "the location"?  ;)

Maybe try   sudo chmod 755 -R "the location"

"-r" may be dangerous, lets first see what the location is...  :-\
