I am installing Python for Scientific Computing AddOn application but there is an error like this : 

 

Error during app install: failed to extract app from C:\Program Files\Splunk\var\run\7514f26da673bbe6.tar.gz to C:\Program Files\Splunk\var\run\splunk\bundle_tmp\df9ffe7f1b8aef48: The system cannot find tthe path specified.

Could you pls try this from the CLI :


cd $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps
tar xf /tmp/python-for-scientific-computing-for-windows-64-bit_410.tgz

C:\Program Files\Splunk\var\run\7514f26da673bbe6.tar.gz
may we know if this file is available, with read permission to the Splunk User?

looks like the Splunk user got no read-write permission to Splunk home directory.. pls verify it, thanks.
