Launch the install with the "Run as Administrator" option.

    • If the install is launched from a command window, for example with the "setup.exe" command, then the command window should be opened with the "Run as Administrator" option. You can do that by right clicking the shortcut when you open the command window.
    • If the install is launched by clicking on the "setup.exe" executable, you should right click setup.exe and choose the option "Run as Administrator".
