Hi Mitul,

I have faced similar problem recently with another software installer. The whole problem was that the application that I have written was storing some data in ProgramData and AppData hidden folders in Windows.

I don't know if that was the real problem but I have changed the permissions on these folders to full access by anonymous user and run my installer as administrator.

Hope that helps you.

Sorry, this is a very, very bad suggestion. The customer should not be forced to change permission. Instead, you should use adequate legitimate directories.
