Installation

Installation stops every time.

In the middle of installation, the following message is output and it stops.

Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Splunk\share\splunk\search_mrsparkle\exposed\js\shim\splunk.pdf.js.
Verify that you have access to that directory.

I can not proceed even if I change the "shim" folder to "Full control" and then press the "Retry" button.
There is no choice, I have to roll back and I can not install it.
What should I do?

OS
Windows 10 home edition
