Having issues with running the windows installer, getting "Access Denied" for some reason. Running the other one works though.
I would send a report, but unless it's just not showing me that it did, it won't let me for some reason. (of course after I posted this it finally let me send one, but I'll add it here just in case).
Here's the detailed log, just in case:
