Happens on some systems apparently, yes :/
Do you use Windows 7?

Windows 7 "Ultimate"

Will be part of the KDevelop 5.3.1 release.

Some people still have the same problem, apparently. I saw the same issue on kate, too.
Comment 6 Matt Postiff 2019-01-25 18:18:17 UTC 
KDevelop 5.3.1 had this problem on two Windows 7 computers. I tried restarting my system, no help. 

If I use Control Panel | Programs and Features to uninstall KDevelop, then the installation works OK. It couldn't handle a lock file that existed from the prior version of KDevelop, but after restarting the program, that error seemed to go away.
