Oracle ODAC for VS 2017 "Access denied" when installing?

3052710Feb 19 2018 — edited Feb 26 2018

I'm looking for any kind of help to get ODAC for Visual Studio 2017 installed. During the process of installing ODAC I get an error "Error in writing to the file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\...\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools\\...\XML\Schemas\Oracle.DataAccess.Common.Configuration". I continue to get this even after I have rebooted and uninstalled/reinstalled VS2017. I will say that I've gone to the installation folder for VS2017 (listed in the install error) and looked for a folder called XML or Schemas and nothing is found. I'm going to assume that Oracle is trying to create this location and may not be able to. I'm not sure why since I am an admin on my local machine and don't have any installation issues with other programs.

I tried doing an uninstall through the Oracle Universal Installer but when I try to use that to uninstall anything is just sits at the 15% mark and does nothing. I've let it sit there for over 30 min and nothing happens. I've rebooted and tried again. Still same thing, it will just sit there and do nothing.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
