Reproducible: Always

Retry isntallation with another directory

I have the same problem, also with installer version 0.9.8.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. The error does not appear if the install path is changed to the users home directory, but in that case KDE does not seem to work.

To install KDE into C:\Program Files you must have administrative privileges. To do this, Right click on the Installer -> Run as Administrator and install KDE then. Please open a new bug report if KDE really fails to work if installed into the home directory.
