I just downloaded the installer for Blender. When I tried to install Blender, everything worked, up until I received this error:
I don't have any previous versions of Blender installed. Any help?
Blender Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people who use Blender to create 3D graphics, animations, or games. It only takes a minute to sign up.

I have solved this rather annoying issue. What I did was edit the Security settings for "SYSTEM." By default all options are set to "Deny," which is preventing the installer from editing the AppData folder. By allowing SYSTEM the "Modify" property, the installer can successfully complete the installation of Blender.
NB: It also happens to the Desktop folder too, same fix.
