From exe file property ===> check: Run this program as an administrator

open cmd: run as adminitrator

type cd ==> enter

C:\Users\MYNAME\Downloads\Programs\Apps\Viber Setup ==> Enter

===> 'C:\Users\MYNAME' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
****NOTE: UserName is replaced by "MYNAME''' because it is my personal name, so I changed it. When I typed in cmd, I used the exact UserName. It was changed when I posted it here
