How to fix - Error 5: Access is Denied in Windows 10
Error indicates that you wont have required privileges to install the application to that particular system drive. Right-click on the application(.exe) file and select Run as administrator installing the same. Do follow the below mentioned steps and heck if it helps.
Method 1:
Open the properties of the main User Profile folder where the files are located (such as Documents, Pictures, etc.). You can open the properties of a particular folder by Right-clicking on it and select Properties from context menu.
Go to the Security tab and click Advanced. Check the box at the bottom of this window. It is labeled "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object" and then click Ok.
This does a one-time action that replaces the security on all the files/subfolders. It’s one-time, so you won’t find that box checked if you peek at it later. Please let us know if it’s working
Method 2:
Press Windows Key + R, type netplwiz
Click and highlight the User profile, which you want to make administrator
Click on Properties, then select the Group Membership tab
Select the Administrator, Click apply/ok
