    What are the steps you've tried to resolve it?

    Here, check this up: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...irectory/0d441663-6167-420d-b936-53f9c3d17898

    Yes it is answered, and yes it is for Windows 7, and yeah. . It should also apply for Windows 10.

    Temporary fix is to right click the Exe file, or the setup, then run as Admin.

    Cheers.
