Windows 10 Installation Permission Denied

ISSUE

I am trying to install Meld 3.20.3 in a fresh installation of Windows 10 20H2 but when trying to write to registry I get the following error:

Could not create key:\SOFTWARE\Meld. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.

I am the only user in the computer (local account) and it has Administrator privileges.

WORKAROUND

Start CMD as administrator and run msiexec /i Meld-3.20.3-mingw.msi

INFO

  • Windows Version: 10x64 20H2 (build 19042.804)
  • Meld Version: 3.20.3
  • Installer: Meld-3.20.3-mingw.msi
