Looks like you "install" Mobiflight within the Download Folder ( pretty sure by fault when click on the MF installer EXE after you download it.... Without moving it to a empty folder prior.)

The download Folder is problematic.....

Download MF again.... Move the File into a empty folder... e.g. D:/Mobiflight and run it there....
Then it should work fine !
Good Luck !
