Problem installing Windows desktop app

When installing the app it says “error opening file for writing”.
It then specifically mentions “Plex Media Server.dll”
Any suggestions to get it to install correctly?

I tried ignoring it, but then the app won’t run.

Player Version#: 1.4.1.940-574c2fa7

plex

Is this your computer?

Are you logged in as admin and or installing with admin rights?

Yes I am administrator and also tried to run the installer as administrator.

What version of Windows are you trying to install the player on?

I am installing on Windows 10

You shouldn’t be installing it in the actual Plex Server Folder, should you?
It appears it is trying to install in the …Plex\Plex\ folder. Try installing it in just the Plex folder one level up.

how it looks on my machine…
pmp_install

Thanks for your suggestion.
What you show is the same (you also have a Plex folder in the Plex folder).
It is the suggested folder by the installer and I did not change it.
I also tried creating c:\plex and install there, but the result is the same.
