Here a couple of suggestions that have worked for some users:

A) Windows Defender might be preventing the installer from creating the directory
  1. Open Windows Defender Security Center and navigate to the following:
  2. Click Virus & threat protection
  3. Click Virus & threat protection settings.
  4. Scroll down to Controlled folder access and temporarily switch to the OFF position.
  5. Try the installation again.
B) Install using command line
