Hello Chilloh,

See if right clicking on the installation file and clicking on Run as administrator may allow it to install properly afterwards.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Did it install and run fine otherwise?

If so, then you can just manually create the shortcut and place it that location for a shortcut in the Start Menu.

Re: error message while installing

The problem is that the C:\ProgramData\Start Menu folder is a hidden protected operating system file. You will need to take ownership of only that folder and allow your user account full permission. Afterwards, see if the program can install with the Run as administrator option. When finished change the folder owner back to System.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Sorry, you would take ownership of it with your user account just as in the tutorial.
