Hi Noiro12,
 
Welcome to the MSDN Forum.
According to your description, I'd like to move this thread to "Installing and Registering Visual Studio Express Editions" for better support where more experts line.
 
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards.

Hi Noiro12,

 

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

 

Could you please let me know your OS?

 

I recommend you run setup.exe as administrator. To do so: Right click>>Run as administrator.

 

If it does not work, I recommend you try to temporarily lower or disable User Account Control (UAC) on the computer and try to install the program and check if you can run the program. Later re-enable or change the UAC settings after running the program.

Access the link below to know how to turn off and turn on UAC settings:

If you have any other concerns, please feel free to let me know.

 

Best Regards,

Answer 5

Hi Noiro12,

 

I recommend you create a new user account with administrator privileges. Then login the new account and try to start the installation.

 

I hope this helps.
