Description Stefan Monov 2016-06-09 11:56:14 UTC 
KDE version: 4.10.2

By default the installer is not ran with Administrator privileges, so it fails when it gets to putting files in C:\Program Files.
This applies both when initially running the installer after downloading it, and when running the already-installed copy of the installer.

Reproducible: Always

Fix 'kde-windows installer not ran as admin by default'.

The installer is now checking if directories and files could be
created in the related directory.
