As was stated by grahamb, this is a permissions issue. A number of things could be blocking the installation. I recommend that users begin your troubhleshooting by temporarily disabling any anti-virus software. Microsoft Defender's Controlled Folder Access will prevent this access as well. If you have that enabled it, it will need to be temporarily disabled to permit installation.

To be clear, I understand that the OP's issue here was resolved, and that this is a dated thread. I just wanted to ensure that these intial troubleshooting steps appeared somewhere here. I expect most users will not get past the permissions issue with a different download. This issue just occurred for me today, so the context is still relevant even though the version number has change.

Edit: This should be an obvious one, but let's get it out there: ensure you have permissions to install the software.
