Hello bleacherbum099
Just to confirm that this is the install file that is not running? Is this correct?
This could be caused by a few reasons, including
1. Microsoft Defender or other anti-virus halting the install process
2. You don't have permission to access the folder.
The exact wording, or even a screenshot of the message would be of more help.

It maybe user error on my part but this is what I'm seeing. program files from maybe a previous version that's not allowing me to re install.
C/program files x/86
and then it says Abort/Ignore/Skip
on the setup.

Ah, now that shows a lot more information...
That one is beyond my knowledge. Hopefully others will be through soon that recognise the issue.
